"Why do we believe what we believe, and ignore what we don't believe? Why do we believe some things that have no foundation in reality, and refuse to believe in things that are firmly supported by scientific research? Why does it seem that many people believe in nothing at all? And does it matter what we believe, and how we came to that decisive point of belief or unbelief?" "Peter K. Fallon insists that neither the study nor the practice of ethics and metaphysics should be limited to professional academic philosophers and theologians. In The Metaphysics of Media Fallon takes a courageous stand against our hyper-mediated popular culture and the postmodern view of information as a salable commodity. He investigates how and why different media, through different historical eras, have engendered and supported certain concepts of reality - at the expense of others. He begins with a critical discussion of the essential idea of objective reality and truth. Fallon then unfolds the story of the evolution of communication through four major eras and the metaphysical foundation that underlies each era and concludes with a look at the troubling rise of mass ignorance in what we call (without a hint of irony) an "age of information.""--Résumé de l'éditeur.
An in-depth analysis of the different worldviews available to us in today's world, their underlying metaphysics, and the symbolism they use to convey their doctrines. The Metaphysical Compass is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis, delving deeply into complex religious and philosophical issues while providing summarized access to vast amounts of information that is difficult for non-specialists to access. It is based on the incontrovertible premise that, especially after the globalization of knowledge, we find ourselves in a highly complex world in which different incompatible worldviews uneasily coexist. To guide us in our search, the book focuses on the metaphysical answers underlying the different worldviews available to us, whether religious, mystical, esoteric, philosophical, or scientific. It also stresses the importance of symbolism in transmitting these doctrines, and its undeniable and growing prevalence in today's mass media and popular culture. The Metaphysical Compass was designed as an enjoyable synthesis capable of conveying a large amount of information in a visual and summarized, but not dumbed down, way. Furthermore, the book contains plenty of hyperlinks (digital editions) and notes through which those interested can expand their knowledge on specific topics. It is an ideal book for those with little time to investigate and confront the great questions of life. Also for those interested in discovering all the possible solutions to the oldest philosophical question of all, which lies at the core of each and every worldview: the conflict between the One and the Many. The Metaphysical Compass includes: .: A massive repository of knowledge (both ancient and modern), highly structured and profusely illustrated, designed to clear up all your metaphysical doubts and guide you in navigating the complexities of the modern world and its myriad worldviews. .: A comparative table with the 41 main current worldviews, in which their particularities are described, their main symbols discussed, and their central metaphysical beliefs defined, compared, and categorized. .: 15 summary diagrams that explain the complete argument of the book in a clear and pleasant visual way. .: Graphics highlighting the prevalence of certain recurrent metaphysical doctrines in modern popular culture.
The point of all existence in the end is connected to love, whether that is love for another person, self-love, or universal and spiritual love. One of the main reasons all souls are here is to learn the nature of love. Love is to understand that even the most heinous person in your eyes has love built deep down in the core of their soul. When you are in Heaven you truly understand what Universal love feels like. Love is the most powerful vibration that exists throughout all of time and space. Displaying hatred doesn’t take much effort, but to show love requires a complete soul do over in order to get back to that space your soul was born with. Love will always cost you something, whether that's time or energy. Love will cost you pride when you need to let go of something that someone else did and extend the olive branch. Universal, Physical, Spiritual and Soul Love examines one of the most powerful vibrations that exists and that is love. There are divinely guided discussions on what it means to display Universal love and spiritual love. There is a heavy emphasis on the connection nature between souls from the karmic to soul mates and twin flames, before devoting a good chunk on the practical, which is of great interest in the physical world. The mid-section of this acts as a dating and relationship guide to finding a quality mate in a world dominated by the darkness of ego. This is coupled with the challenges and benefits to finding and keeping love in a language that resides within the cold technology sphere. It would be awesome if every single person on the planet was keenly aware of their innate psychic abilities built into their soul’s DNA, because then Earth would be as close to Heaven as feasibly possible. There would be never-ending joy, peace, and love for every soul. Everyone would be operating from a higher vibration while moving mountains in the process. We see this kind of amazing uplifting joy in others when they’re in a high vibrational state. Universal, Physical, Spiritual and Soul Love has the goal and intention of filling the reader with as much as love as possible with the hope that it can motivate one soul back into their soul’s natural state of love. Some of the topics discussed in Universal, Physical, Spiritual and Soul Loveinclude: It’s All About Love, Creating the Life You Love, Self-Love and Self-Care, Karmic Soul Connections, Soul Mate Soul Connections, Twin Flame Soul Connections, The Benefits and Challenges of Technology Dating, Single and Longing for a Relationship, Love and Relationships, Love is a Battlefield, Seeking Love Through External Validation, Divine Soul Love, Love Yourself Back to Life, Bring Out the Good Vibrations, Universal Spiritual Love, and much more! Let more Light into your soul's life with the Metaphysical Divine Wisdom collection of books. Each cover a variety of distinctive themes connected to the spiritual and the practical interwoven and back around again. The Metaphysical Divine Wisdom practical motivational guide to spirituality series of books include Psychic Spirit Team Heaven Communication, Soul Consciousness and Purpose, Manifesting Fearless Assertive Confidence, Balancing the Body, Mind, and Soul, Increasing Prayer with Faith for an Abundant Life, and Universal, Physical, Spiritual and Soul Love.
You were made for more than a love/hate relationship with your body. It's one thing to know in your head that you were created in the image of God. Yet it's quite another to experience this belief in your body, against the cultural ideals of a woman's worth. And between the two lies a world of frustration, disappointment, and the shame of somehow feeling both too much and never enough in your body. Jess Connolly is a bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and trusted Bible teacher who knows this inner conflict all too well, and this book details her journey--and yours--of setting out to discover how to break free from the broken beliefs we all hold about our bodies that hold us back from our fullest life. The truest thing about you is that you are made and loved by God. And the truest thing about Him is that He cannot make bad things. This book will help you believe it with your whole self, as Jess guides you through an eye-opening, empowering process of: Renaming what the world has labeled as less-than Resting in God's workmanship Experiencing restoration where there has been injury And becoming a change agent in partnering with God to bring revival to a generation of women Far from a superficial issue, self-image is a spiritual issue, because God has named your body good from the beginning. Whether your struggle is with eating and exercise habits, stress or trauma, infertility or injury, this book makes space for you to experience God meeting you in this tender place, and ring His freedom bell over your body in a whole new way.
Review: "Leading exponent of discourse-centered approach examines social organization of the Shokleng, Gê-speaking peoples of southern Brazil. Author suggests a reading in terms of the problematic of knowledge: the theme of intelligibility and sensibility and their interrelations; logical empiricism and its connection to the world; the attachment of circulating discourse to sensible space; the relation of discourse and power relations; and the relation of discourse to reference"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
A key to Charles Fillmore's original form of religious expression, this volume is a core text of the Unity movement and interprets the hidden meanings of the Bible's names, places, and events.
The Second World War marked an ethical turn in British fiction. The author of this study demonstrates this by closely examining John Fowles's and Iris Murdoch's works as post-war meta-textual magical-realist novels interested in ethics and the nature of contemporary reality. These ethical novels transcend mere morality to explore the essence of the Good. Through paradigms of human experience, they direct our attention towards the Other and impart moral principles based on acts of Goodness. The author assesses the moral intimations in Fowles's The Magus and Murdoch's The Sea, the Sea in the context of their philosophical writings, mainly The Aristos and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals respectively. She shows that Fowles and Murdoch endeavour to instruct the reader morally through the accessible language of fiction.
In this extraordinary stand-alone novel, the authors and translator of Vita Nostra—a "dark Harry Potter on steroids with a hefty dose of metaphysics" (award-winning author Aliette de Bodard)—return with a story about creation, music, and companionship filled with their hallmark elements of subtle magic and fantasy. Late one night, fate brings together DJ Aspirin and ten-year-old Alyona. After he tries to save her from imminent danger, she ends up at his apartment. But in the morning sinister doubts set in. Who is Alyona? A young con artist? A plant for a nefarious blackmailer? Or perhaps a long-lost daughter Aspirin never knew existed? Whoever this mysterious girl is, she now refuses to leave. A game of cat-and-mouse has begun. Claiming that she is a musical prodigy, Alyona insists she must play a complicated violin piece to find her brother. Confused and wary, Aspirin knows one thing: he wants her out of his apartment and his life. Yet every attempt to get rid of her is thwarted by an unusual protector: her plush teddy bear that may just transform into a fearsome monster. Alyona tells Aspirin that if he would just allow her do her work, she’ll leave him—and this world. He can then return to the shallow life he led before her. But as outside forces begin to coalesce, threatening to finally separate them, Aspirin makes a startling discovery about himself and this ethereal, eerie child.
