＜p＞The themes of this book focus on the evolution of humanity, the next stage of our planetary development, the planetary crisis in general, and how we, as spiritual lightworkers and starseeds, can prepare for our future and for the ascension. We look at the relationships between such complex subjects as quantum physics and spirituality and New Age physics to learn how that relates to the higher dimensions and healing techniques that use new terminology such as “quantum healing” and “omega light.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Arcturians gladly integrate physics with spirituality. Ascension is the transmutation of the physical body into the fifth dimension, completing Earth’s incarnational cycles. They report that the ascension is open to all seekers of higher spiritual truth, especially those who are open to cosmic spirituality. There is also an extensive glossary to help the reader.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Overall, their messages are hopeful, helpful, and healing.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】All Life Is Yoga: Prayer and Mantra【電子書籍】[ Sri Aurobindo ]

＜p＞To tell the truth, if you live only a moment, just a tiny moment, of this absolutely sincere aspiration or this sufficiently intense prayer, you will know more things than by meditating for hours. (The Mother)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Prayer: There is a general tendency among certain intellectuals to undermine prayer as something religious and inferior. However a look at the spiritual history of man kind reveals that prayers have always been an integral part of spiritual living. There is a rationale and a process behind prayers, a mystic truth of profound implications that the mind does not always recognise but the heart readily discovers. In this book we take up the different aspects of Prayers as part of our spiritual evolution and growth in the light of Integral Yoga.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mantra: Sri Aurobindo reveals that ‘The Mantra, poetic expression of the deepest spiritual reality, is only possible when three highest intensities of poetic speech meet and become indissolubly one, a highest intensity of rhythmic movement, a highest intensity of interwoven verbal form and thought-substance, of style, and a highest intensity of the soul’ s vision of truth.’ It is a cry of the soul that leaps in ecstasy and adoration at the vision of Truth. The higher firmament is the secret birthplace of the mantra of which the soul becomes a witness as it ascends out of the limited scope of the mortal mind into the limitless seeing of the infinite. The mantra, therefore, is much more than merely some Sanskrit words replete with profound meaning. The mantra can be in any language for it is born out of the Silence that weaves the stars. Its depth goes beyond the mere meaning or the idea to the sound-vibrations that climb on wings of aspiration and love and carry the hearer towards the Home of Truth or reveal to him something of the Glory that hides behind the many masks of creation. In this Book we seek to bring out the truths about the mantra as revealed to us through the mantric speech and writings of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Kneeling at the Altar of Science The Mistaken Path of Contemporary Religious Scientism【電子書籍】[ Robert Bolger ]

＜p＞Does religion need to look more like a science? If much of the contemporary work published in science and religion is any indication, the answer appears to be a resounding "yes." Yet the current tendency to dress religion up in the language and methods of science does more harm than good. In Kneeling at the Altar of Science, Robert Bolger argues that much of the recent writing in science and religion falls prey to the practice of what he calls "religious scientism," or the attempt to use science to explain and clarify certain religious concepts. Bolger then shows, with clarity and humor, how religious scientism harms rather than helps, arguing in the end that religious concepts do better when their meaning is found in the context of their religious use. This book promises to be a fresh approach to the ever-popular dialogue between science and religion.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom【電子書籍】[ Christopher St John ]

＜p＞Everyone admires wisdom. We would define Wisdom as "the ability to make good decisions." The dictionary says it this way; wisdom is the " ＜em＞quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action, discernment, or insight＜/em＞." I think the overwhelming majority of us believe we are wise. But we are comparing ourselves one to another and missing the truth of the foundation of wisdom altogether.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Proverbs chapter 9:1-6＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table; She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city: "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding she says, "Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed. "Forsake your folly and live,＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞And proceed in the way of understanding."＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wisdom is as a living being who lives in a house built by herself, set upon seven pillars upholding her at her foundation. She has prepared a table of fellowship for all who would come. She has delicacies with wine, blessings for all. She has sent out her invitations and you have one sent to your home; as do I. We love to take hold of the riches of wisdom and the fame of wisdom; so we say we are wise and we are crafty in our ways. However we are deceiving ourselves if in all of our wisdom we are not dwelling in her house supported by all of the seven pillars.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book takes a look at what I believe could be the seven pillars of Wisdom and their applications. These are qualities all humans have the ability to acquire and practice. Do we want to have a fear of God? Why has the Church lost its power? Who am I in Christ and this world? How do I obtain true knowledge? What is truth? How can I become a person of Wisdom?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Existentialism【電子書籍】[ Judith N. Irene ]

＜p＞Life might be limited to what we found on earth. It might be limited to what we live and go trough everyday. Life have been defined and viewed differently by each one of us. However, behind each personal concept, the same questions emerge. We will never stop looking over our existence the fact that we might be lost on earth has been one of our haunted ideas consciously or unconsciously. We work hard, we get into arguments there is a range of activities that we get involved . . . but there is something that always make us stop along the road to question ourselves over our way of acting and behaving. It then becomes clear that we do not have any fundamental reason generating those specific actions. Misunderstanding of each other drives us on irreversible equations most of the time and not only we are a mystery to ourselves but so as to others. A you that isnt you is indispensable, it is our prime reason to be. We have diminished ourselves in time whereas we could be invincible and unbreakable only if we could purify our hearts and tune our minds to the right channel. We are born, we live and we die depending on our personal journey on earth. The line might be straight forward and simple however lets look behind the curtains.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This important report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. A little over 200,000 votes in Mexico's 2006 presidential election determined whether or not the United States might soon share a border with a potentially communist country. A closer look reveals Mexico was nearly another domino in a rash of leftism that is sweeping through Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). In fact, there are as many leftist countries in the LAC region today as there were in Eastern Europe at the height of the Cold War. This research will determine why leftism is on the rise and whether U.S. national security is being threatened.＜br /＞ The causes are a combination of extreme inequality with regards to income per capita, an increased awareness among the populace as to its unequal situation, a poor display of U.S. foreign policy, and an increase in education levels throughout the region. In short, Latin Americans are smarter, poorer, and angrier with the United States for its inattentiveness since the end of the Cold War.＜br /＞ The Bush administration's association of democracies with U.S. national security is shown to be questionable. Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales were both democratically elected, and their associations with known terror organizations and rogue states decrease U.S. security. In any case, most new leftist governments in Latin America are not true leftists. They are called leftist, but their external economic policies clearly resemble capitalism. Ironically, the effect on U.S. national security depends upon its own future actions.＜br /＞ Based on these findings, three policy proposals are recommended. First, the United States needs to pioneer fairer trade agreements. Second, the United States needs to increase its foreign aid, with earmarks for economic investments. Third, the United States needs to work harder at being a good neighbor. These three steps should pull the region together and thereby increase the entire hemisphere's security.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】99 Theses on the Revaluation of Value A Postcapitalist Manifesto【電子書籍】[ Brian Massumi ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A speculative exploration of value, emphasizing practical experimentation in its future forms＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞How can we begin to envision a postcapitalist economy without first engineering a radically new concept of value? And with a renewed sense of how and what we collectively value, what would the transition to new social forms look like? According to Brian Massumi, it is time to reclaim value from the capitalist market and the neoliberal reduction of life to “human capital.” It is time to occupy surplus-value for a postcapitalist future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞99 Theses on the Revaluation of Value＜/em＞ is both a theoretical and practical manifesto. Massumi reexamines ideas about money, exchange, and finance, with special attention to how what we value in experience for quality is economically translated into quantity. He proposes new conceptual tools for understanding value in directly qualitative terms, speculating on how this revaluation of value might practically form the basis of an alter-economy. A promising path, he suggests, might involve emerging blockchain technologies beyond bitcoin. But these must be uprooted from their libertarian origins and redesigned to serve not individual choice but collective creativity, not calculations of self-interest but collaborative speculations on the future to be shared. It is necessary to grasp the specificity of our contemporary neoliberal condition and the ultimately destructive forms of power it mobilizes to better resist their claim on the future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞99 Theses on the Revaluation of Value＜/em＞ is written to galvanize a radical redefinition of value for a livable postcapitalist future.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Atheism Reclaimed【電子書籍】[ Patrick O'Connor ]

＜p＞A Lament for the Soul of Atheism. Real Atheism for Real Atheists. Rooted in continental philosophy, phenomenology and existential philosophy, Atheism Reclaimed is original in its attempt to create different existential concepts to give expressions to what an authentic atheism might look like for the 21st Century. Utilizing thinkers like Heidegger, Nietzsche, Bataille and Ranciere, Virno and Sartre, Patrick O,Connor opens up a new path for atheist thought based on questions of time, truth, objects and equality in opposition to more traditional scientific materialist accounts that underline conventional atheism. O'Connor engages with five key moments that, he argues, allow us to begin to build a new conceptual discourse for atheism: Nietzsche's response to nihilism; the role of objects; an atheistic interpretation of Heidegger's account of time; the strange relation between truth and violence; and a refiguring of notions of the common.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】An Unrealistic Expectation Of Perfection【電子書籍】[ Mark Moyers ]

＜p＞As Christians, we are often expected to be many things to many people. We're expected to be living epistles, demonstrating scripture by our very actions. We're expected to be the good people, the kind people, the people who always do the right thing. We're expected to look a certain way, behave a certain way, do certain things, and much, much more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While many of these expectations are beneficial, and encourage us to live righteously, regrettably, there are many more which are burdensome and oppressive. In fact, these overreaching rules, regulations, and traditions have become a barrier for many of us. So much so, we have even had many precious gifts of God stolen from us simply because they are against the rules.＜/p＞ ＜p＞God never intended for us to live oppressed and condemned; God intended for us to live free. As the Apostle Paul wrote, it is for freedom that Christ has set us free, but far too few of us have laid hold of this freedom. (Galatians 5:1 NIV)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Learn what it means to live free in Christ as we dismantle man's expectations of perfection, and live according to God's expectations. You may be surprised by what you discover as we put sin, grace, works, and righteousness in their proper perspectives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞May we no longer be shackled to an unrealistic expectation of perfection.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Failing Like Jesus: Redefining Your Preception of Success【電子書籍】[ Kevin Riggs ]

＜p＞Dr. Riggs takes a closer look at the ministry of Jesus on earth where he faced many challenges, people who misunderstood Him, and the perception of a failed ministry. Jesus stood up to the challenges and understood His identity was wrapped up in His relationship with His Father. Such knowledge enabled Jesus to perform for an audience of One. Until you come to the place where you are at peace with performing for an audience of One, you will either focus on applause or failure. Allow God's plan for your ministry to become your plan and find a fresh hope and true fulfillment. This work shares a renewed sense of confidence in trusting God's sovereignty. As the reader is walked through situations in the life of Jesus that do not come across as success in ministry, the full picture gives a clear understanding of God's power over circumstances. Dr. Riggs makes it easy to grasp the personal application taught through the ministry of Jesus. This book is a tool to encourage any leader discouraged by past failures. Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter for personal reflection or group study.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Stay the Hand of Vengeance The Politics of War Crimes Tribunals【電子書籍】[ Gary Jonathan Bass ]

＜p＞International justice has become a crucial part of the ongoing political debates about the future of shattered societies like Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Chile. Why do our governments sometimes display such striking idealism in the face of war crimes and atrocities abroad, and at other times cynically abandon the pursuit of international justice altogether? Why today does justice seem so slow to come for war crimes victims in the Balkans? In this book, Gary Bass offers an unprecedented look at the politics behind international war crimes tribunals, combining analysis with investigative reporting and a broad historical perspective. The Nuremberg trials powerfully demonstrated how effective war crimes tribunals can be. But there have been many other important tribunals that have not been as successful, and which have been largely left out of today's debates about international justice. This timely book brings them in, using primary documents to examine the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, the Armenian genocide, World War II, and the recent wars in the former Yugoslavia.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bass explains that bringing war criminals to justice can be a military ordeal, a source of endless legal frustration, as well as a diplomatic nightmare. The book takes readers behind the scenes to see vividly how leaders like David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton have wrestled with these agonizing moral dilemmas. The book asks how law and international politics interact, and how power can be made to serve the cause of justice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bass brings new archival research to bear on such events as the prosecution of the Armenian genocide, presenting surprising episodes that add to the historical record. His sections on the former Yugoslavia tell--with important new discoveries--the secret story of the politicking behind the prosecution of war crimes in Bosnia, drawing on interviews with senior White House officials, key diplomats, and chief prosecutors at the war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Bass concludes that despite the obstacles, legalistic justice for war criminals is nonetheless worth pursuing. His arguments will interest anyone concerned about human rights and the pursuit of idealism in international politics.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Dissecting Death Secrets of a Medical Examiner【電子書籍】[ David L. Carroll ]

＜p＞From TV’s ＜em＞CSI＜/em＞ to bestsellers by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, interest in forensics is at an all-time high. Now one of our most respected forensic pathologists gives a behind-the-scenes look at eleven of his most notorious cases, cracked by scientific analysis and Sherlock Holmesian deduction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As chief medical examiner of Rockland County, New York, for almost thirty-five years, Dr. Frederick Zugibe literally wrote the book on the subjectーhis widely used textbook is considered the definitive text. Over the years he has pioneered countless innovations, including the invention of a formula to soften mummified fingersーenabling fingerprinting, and thus identification, of a long-deceased victim. He has appeared as an expert hundreds of times in the media and in the courtroomーand not once has a jury failed to accept his testimony over opposing expert witnesses. And now, in ＜em＞Dissecting Death＜/em＞, he has opened the door to the world of forensic pathology in all its gruesome and fascinating mystery.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dr. Zugibe takes us through the process all good pathologists follow, using eleven of his most challenging cases. With him, we visit the often grislyーthough sometimes shockingly banalーcrime scene. We inspect the body, palpate the wounds, search for clues in the hair and skin. We employ ultraviolet light, strange measuring devices, optical instruments. We see how a forensic pathologist determines the hour of death, the type of weapon used, the killer’s escape route. And then we enter the lab, the world of high-tech criminal detection: DNA testing, fingerprinting, gunshot patterns, dental patterns, X-rays.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But not every case ends in a conviction, and in a closing chapter Dr. Zugibe examines some recent high-profile cases in which blunders led to killers going free, either because the wrong party was brought to trial or because the evidence presented didn’t do the trickーincluding Jon-Benet Ramsey’s murder and, of course, the O.J. Simpson trial.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Animals and the Environment Advocacy, activism, and the quest for common ground【電子書籍】

＜p＞Contemporary Earth and animal activists rarely collaborate, perhaps because environmentalists focus on species and ecosystems, while animal advocates look to the individual, and neither seems to have much respect for the other. This diverse collection of essays highlights common ground between earth and animal advocates, most notably the protection of wildlife and personal dietary choice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If earth and animal advocates move beyond philosophical differences and resultant divergent priorities, turning attention to shared goals, both will be more effective ? and both animals and the environment will benefit. Given the undeniable seriousness of the environmental problems that we face, including climate change and species extinction, it is essential that activists join forces. Drawing on a wide range of issues and disciplines, ranging from wildlife management, hunting, and the work of NGOs to ethics, ecofeminism, religion and animal welfare, this volume provides a stimulating collection of ideas and challenges for anyone else who cares about the environment or animals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
