Yes, God Really Is 'Up There ' provides answers for many of life's questions. It has been written by a man whose earliest childhood memory is of shivering in the winter cold while trying to sleep on a bale of hay in a drafty barn somewhere in war-torn (WWII) Europe. His Mother was doing her best to comfort him, all the while listening to the bombers roaring over-head, and wondering what had happened to her husband, the boy's Father. It later came to light that he had been captured by Russian soldiers, and was bound for the labor camps of Siberia. How the Father escaped, found his wife and child, and once reunited, they came to the United States, is a story for another day. Suffice it to say that, bringing only their clothes and old pots and pans, upon arrival they began to live the American Dream. (For more, read About The Author at the end of the book.) The American Dream abounds with opportunities and obstacles for the native-born and immigrant alike; the author has been no exception - he encountered both. Amidst the victories and defeats, he came to realize that God Almighty really was and is up there, ever vigilant and always looking out for him. That very God can do the same for you. If you're not sure that God really is up there, or you are going through tough times, you need to read this book.
A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education: The Play of the In-Between explores the ways in which both play and poetry orient us toward what surpasses us. Catherine Homan develops an original account of poetic education that builds on Friedrich Hölderlin’s idea of poetry as a teacher of humanity. Whereas aesthetic education emphasizes judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic education foregrounds self-formation and openness to the other. Critically engaging the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play call for a particular stance in the world and with others. Open toward the infinite while simultaneously reaching toward its own finitude, the poetic work addresses us and invites our response. Poetry reveals the human condition as “in-between” and dialogical, even at the limits of language. Although many philosophers mistakenly view play as frivolous, Homan takes play seriously. Play--spontaneous and creative--resists mastery and instead requires an active attunement to the to-and-fro movement of the world, of others, and ourselves. A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education demonstrates that poetic education, as learning to listen, provides vital resources for responding to alterity in meaningful ways that resist totalization.
God's Playthings
You live under a cult. This cult controls your life, and it controls your life to your detriment. If you expect any relief from your situation in the future, you must at the very least become aware of the true nature of your situation. Otherwise you will continue to be "playthings of the gods"... Walter Carnot Vetsch was born in 1947 in Louisiana, with a gift that he himself defines as the "unlearned knowledge." Many of us, over the years, generally acquire a degree of wisdom, which cannot be learned in schools. When we pass away, this knowledge dissolves in the universal consciousness, so, when we're back here in our next incarnation, we usually have to start everything from scratch. This was not the case of Walter. From his earliest years, he knew exactly what "reality" really was, how it worked, and what were the forces that made it work. He knew that this knowledge was true, and the best cofirmation of it was that when, in the end of the 1960s, he decided to expose this knowledge in a book, those same forces violently opposed to it. "All that I write," Walter says, "is based on the material I was able to bring through from before I was born here. This is what triggered the people who look for that sort of stuff, persons with 'unlearned knowledge, ' which could upset a system where knowledge is controlled."
