Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his life, George Manus has reflected on big and small, which has already resulted in 19 books. He claims that while things are happening, we only get to think in the present. It is only afterwards that we have time and opportunity to think analogize and consider. The importance the author attaches to the idea of reflection is in other words afterthoughts. In this, his twentieth book, George Manus has picked out thoughts from "Reflections" I - II and III, as well as "Thoughts". Thoughts were written, one every day, on the first 51 days of 2001, while the Reflections spread as far back as 1989.

Book Synopsis Stories & Thoughts II by : George Manus
Download or read book Stories & Thoughts II written by George Manus and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a continuation of my STORIES AND THOUGHTS I, and as such contains 25 Reflections. The oldest was put on paper in 1991 and the latest in 2023. I have dedicated the book TO AN UNNAMED PERSON, and obviously had a specific person in mind when I wrote it in 1990, but when I read it today I perceive that as irrelevant. In my opinion, it should remain an unnamed person. Perhaps for you, when you read the book, it may give you associations, and perhaps you will also, in your thoughts, let it remain unnamed. The coloured illustrations are from my own collection of geometric paintings, original size 60x60 cm.
Download or read book My Life Values I written by George Manus and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the first of two, author George Manus has compromised with his basic philosophy about experience, which briefly states that: You must be master of your own experiences, as that is the only way you can progress, Think about the experiences you have benefited from in life, especially where you believe they have been important for your own development whatever your age. Should it be possible to be master of oness own experiences, one must as a starting point acquire a solid platform to stand on, understood as having a clear perception of lifes most important values and a balanced basis for meeting lifes challenges. For this, it goes without saying that one should listen to the experience of others. The author sees himself as an autodidact but believes that he has acquired a reasonably solid platform to stand on. Honest self-awareness gives you a solid platform to stand on in life, and is a gift not given to all; many must work towards that goal themselves, like I have done, and this is where these books, as an example, shows you how I have exposed my honest self-awareness, and thereby got a more solid platform from where to stand up to lifes challenges. Inspiration to gather the content and publish this book, he says, comes from readers of his previous books, and two of them in particular: "217 Reflections" and "Food for Thought - 1001 Short reflections". In this book he has chosen 21 Reflections about Life Values from the first mentioned book, and 97 Food for Thought from the second. A book for all ages about My Life Values and Attitudes without reference to religion and politics.

Download or read book The Four Desires written by Rod Stryker and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Desire is here to stay. The challenge we all face, and which I intend to guide you through, is to learn how to take into account the full measure of who you are and use the positive force of all four of your soul’s desires to lead you to your best life.” —Rod Stryker According to ancient Yogic tradition, your soul has four distinct desires: • The desire for purpose, the drive to become who you are meant to be • The desire for the means (money, security, health) to prosper in this world • The desire for pleasures like intimacy, beauty, and love • The desire for spiritual fulfillment and lasting freedom Learning to honor these four desires is the key to happiness, and to a complete and balanced life. But how can you discern what will truly satisfy your desires? How can you increase your capacity to achieve them? What if your desires seem to conflict with one another? Is it really possible to live a spiritual life while also wanting material pleasures and success? For more than three decades, master teacher Rod Stryker has taught yoga in the context of its deepest philosophy. His course, called The Yoga of Fulfillment™, has helped thousands recognize their soul’s call to greatness and to achieve their dreams. Now, in this wise and richly practical book, he has distilled those broad teachings into a roadmap for becoming the person you were meant to be. It is filled with revealing true stories, provocative exercises, and practices for unlocking your inner guidance. And even if you’ve never done a yoga pose, you can follow this step-by-step process to: • discover your soul’s unique purpose—the one you came into this world to fulfill. • recognize the goal(s) you need to focus on at any given time and enliven your capacity to reach them. • overcome self-defeating ideas and behavior. • recruit your deepest energies and strengthen your resolve to meet any challenge. • learn to live with joy at every stage of your growth. The Four Desires is nothing less than a complete path toward living your best life possible—a life that is rich in meaning and in means, a life that attracts and emanates happiness, a life that is your unique gift to yourself and the world.

Book Synopsis An Introduction To Systems Science by : John N Warfield
Download or read book An Introduction To Systems Science written by John N Warfield and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006-04-19 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book that renders a thorough discussion of systems science. It draws on material from an extensive collection of external sources, including several other books and a special library collection complete with videotape empirical evidence of applicability of the theory to a wide variety of circumstances. This is essential because systems science must be responsive to diverse human situations of the widest difficulty, and it must fill the void that the specific sciences cannot fill, because these sciences are insensitive to the necessities of reconciling disparate views of multiple observers, and incorporating local conditions in hypotheses that precede inductive explorations.
Book Synopsis Permanent Liminality and Modernity by : Arpad Szakolczai
Download or read book Permanent Liminality and Modernity written by Arpad Szakolczai and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive sociological study of the nature and dynamics of the modern world, through the use of a series of anthropological concepts, including the trickster, schismogenesis, imitation and liminality. Developing the view that with the theatre playing a central role, the modern world is conditioned as much by cultural processes as it is by economic, technological or scientific ones, the author contends the world is, to a considerable extent, theatrical - a phenomenon experienced as inauthenticity or a loss of direction and meaning. As such the novel is revealed as a means for studying our theatricalised reality, not simply because novels can be understood to be likening the world to theatre, but because they effectively capture and present the reality of a world that has been thoroughly ’theatricalised’ - and they do so more effectively than the main instruments usually employed to analyse reality: philosophy and sociology. With analyses of some of the most important novelists and novels of modern culture, including Rilke, Hofmannsthal, Kafka, Mann, Blixen, Broch and Bulgakov, and focusing on fin-de-siècle Vienna as a crucial ’threshold’ chronotope of modernity, Permanent Liminality and Modernity demonstrates that all seek to investigate and unmask the theatricalisation of modern life, with its progressive loss of meaning and our deteriorating capacity to distinguish between what is meaningful and what is artificial. Drawing on the work of Nietzsche, Bakhtin and Girard to examine the ways in which novels explore the reduction of human existence to a state of permanent liminality, in the form of a sacrificial carnival, this book will appeal to scholars of social, anthropological and literary theory.

Download or read book Writ on Water written by Charles Warren and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eloquent book draws on the author's responses to a wide range of extraordinary films—"long takes" on Altman's Nashville, Godard's Hail Mary, Makavejev's WR: Mysteries of the Organism, and von Sternberg's Blonde Venus, as well as "short takes" on films by Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Chantal Akerman, Ross McElwee, Michelangelo Antonioni, Michael Haneke, and Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. Charles Warren's masterful close readings blend profound philosophical reflections with a treasure trove of literary and artistic references to place film, in its relations to other arts, as one of the greatest aesthetic forms. Collectively, these essays offer an original and powerful statement on the nature of film and the intimate relation of what the author calls "film imagination" to our lives as human beings in the world. This important and much-needed book is no less than a celebration and affirmation of the very discipline of film criticism. One is left with one's appetite for film refreshed.
