Download or read book The Making Of A Cosmic Citizen written by Michael A. Hanna and published by Majeston Hanna. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the first 30 years of my life and God willing, I will write about the rest of the years while the sun still shines. Now that I have written my history I can say that there is far more left out than what was written. And then, we tend to see the past through rose-colored glasses, and that is our way of rationalizing our existence. Memories are sketchy at best and we all see things from their moccasins. I hope that my recollections can enrich your own. My children will have a reference point for their history and they will add to it for greater continuity. Life will become the beginning for a life that never ends.
Book Synopsis Cosmic Citizens and Moonshot Thinking by : Rohan Roberts
Download or read book Cosmic Citizens and Moonshot Thinking written by Rohan Roberts and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning educator, innovation expert, and Global Teacher Prize finalist, Rohan Roberts, comes a provocative look at why our current education system is not fit for purpose and why we need to overhaul it. Cosmic Citizens and Moonshot Thinking: Education in an Age of Exponential Technologies takes a fresh approach to what we need to do differently to prepare our children for a world of exponential technologies, disruptive innovations, and ubiquitous A.I. In this groundbreaking book, Roberts outlines the purpose of education in a world of increased outsourcing and automation and explains how we can future-proof our youth to survive and thrive in a world of accelerating change. Through interactions with corporate leaders, interviews with principals, meetings with parents, and surveys of students, this book considers how the best and brightest students would overhaul their education system. The book highlights the role of neuroscience in education and explores several fascinating concepts such as radical openness, abundance mindsets, the gig economy, the technological singularity, intelligent optimism, the age of imagination, humanics, transhumanism, and the importance of Enlightenment values as we advance into the 21st Century. Underpinning this book is a constant focus on the importance of bringing a sense of awe into education and fostering a sense of cosmic wonder when contemplating human purpose and human existence. Written in a style that is discursive, contemplative, and with a sense of urgency, this book will appeal to students, parents, teachers, school principals, and to anyone who recognises that the only real and long-lasting way to create a better society is to first fix our education system.

Download or read book Citizen Science written by Caren Cooper and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True stories of everyday volunteers participating in scientific research that “may well prompt readers to join the growing community” (Booklist). Think you need a degree in science to contribute to important scientific discoveries? Think again. All around the world, in fields ranging from meteorology to ornithology to public health, millions of everyday people are choosing to participate in the scientific process. Working in cooperation with scientists in pursuit of information, innovation, and discovery, these volunteers are following protocols, collecting and reviewing data, and sharing their observations. They’re our neighbors, in-laws, and coworkers. Their story, along with the story of the social good that can result from citizen science, has largely been untold, until now. Citizen scientists are challenging old notions about who can conduct research, where knowledge can be acquired, and even how solutions to some of our biggest societal problems might emerge. In telling their story, Caren Cooper just might inspire you to rethink your own assumptions about the role that individuals can play in gaining scientific understanding—and putting that understanding to use as a steward of our world. “Engaging.” —Library Journal (starred review)
Book Synopsis The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria by : Kathleen Gibbons
Download or read book The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria written by Kathleen Gibbons and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria, Kathleen Gibbons proposes a new approach to Clement’s moral philosophy and explores how his construction of Christianity’s relationship with Jewishness informed, and was informed by, his philosophical project. As one of the earliest Christian philosophers, Clement’s work has alternatively been treated as important for understanding the history of relations between Christianity and Judaism and between Christianity and pagan philosophy. This study argues that an adequate examination of his significance for the one requires an adequate examination of his significance for the other. While the ancient claim that the writings of Moses were read by the philosophical schools was found in Jewish, Christian, and pagan authors, Gibbons demonstrates that Clement’s use of this claim shapes not only his justification of his authorial project, but also his philosophical argumentation. In explaining what he took to be the cosmological, metaphysical, and ethical implications of the doctrine that the supreme God is a lawgiver, Clement provided the theoretical justifications for his views on a range of issues that included martyrdom, sexual asceticism, the status of the law of Moses, and the relationship between divine providence and human autonomy. By contextualizing Clement’s discussions of volition against wider Greco-Roman debates about self-determination, it becomes possible to reinterpret the invocation of “free will” in early Christian heresiological discourse as part of a larger dispute about what human autonomy requires.

Book Synopsis The Cosmic Hologram by : Jude Currivan
Download or read book The Cosmic Hologram written by Jude Currivan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How holographic patterns of information underlie our physical reality • 2017 Nautilus Silver Award • Includes myriad evidence from a wide range of cutting-edge scientific discoveries showing our Universe is an interconnected hologram of information • Explains how consciousness is a major component of the cosmic hologram of information, making us both manifestations and co-creators of our reality • Reconciles Quantum Mechanics and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by showing that energy-matter and space-time are complementary expressions of information Our understanding of the Universe is about to transform at all levels, from the tiniest Planck scale to the vast reaches of space. Recent scientific discoveries show that the information that upholds all of our modern technologies is exactly the same as the universal in-formation that underpins, pervades, and is all we call physical reality. Exploring how information is more fundamental than energy, matter, space, or time, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., examines the latest research across many fields of study and many scales of existence to show how our Universe is in-formed and holographically manifested. She explains how the fractal in-formational patterns that guide behavior at the atomic level also guide the structure of galactic clusters in space. She demonstrates how the in-formational relationships that underlie earthquakes are the same as those that play out during human conflicts. She shows how cities grow in the same in-formational ways that galaxies evolve and how the dynamic in-formational forms that pervade ecosystems are identical to the informational structures of the Internet and our social behaviors. Demonstrating how information is physically real, the author explores how consciousness connects us to the many interconnected layers of universal in-formation, making us both manifestations and co-creators of the cosmic hologram of reality. She explains how Quantum Mechanics and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity can at last be reconciled if we consider energy-matter and space-time as complementary expressions of information, and she explores how the cosmic hologram underlies the true origin of species and our own evolution. Concurring too with ancient spiritual wisdom, the author offers solid evidence that consciousness is not something we “have” but the fundamental nature of what we and the entire Universe are. With this understanding, we can each transform our own lives and help co-create and in-form the world around us.
Book Synopsis Positive Harmlessness in Practice by : Dorothy I. Riddle
Download or read book Positive Harmlessness in Practice written by Dorothy I. Riddle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All spiritual traditions mandate harmlessness, yet the twentieth century was the most violent period in human history. How is this possible? Positive Harmlessness in Practice documents that we have no collective experience of harmlessness because our habits of harm are so pervasive. To build our harmlessness muscle, Dr. Riddle details a pragmatic three-step daily practicea Butterfly Shift. Such mini-immersion experiences of harmlessness help us develop the skills and habits that make it possible for us to embed harmlessness as our core value. Positive Harmlessness invites us to embrace an ethic of harmlessness, individually and as a human family. Practical exercises and a Harmlessness Scale help us learn to model harmlessness in all that we think, say, and do.

Book Synopsis Your Evolving Soul by : Byron Belitsos
Download or read book Your Evolving Soul written by Byron Belitsos and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Urantia Book offers a complex revelation about the human soul that stands alone in its coherence and richness of detail. Your Evolving Soul is the first book to explain this advanced teaching for the ordinary reader, while also comparing Urantia teachings on soul evolution to other accounts of the soul in philosophy and the wisdom traditions, utilizing as an analytical tool the integral theories of philosopher Ken Wilber. Belitsos depicts the human soul as a species of the higher mind that is quintessentially evolutionary and experiential -a sacred vehicle of personal identity and immortality that contributes something crucial to cosmic evolution. Through his interpretation of the Urantia material, the author offers a model of the human soul to be tested, examined, and compared - not as a finished truth to be accepted as doctrine.
Book Synopsis Anthropology and mysticism in the making of initiation by : Andy Hilton
Download or read book Anthropology and mysticism in the making of initiation written by Andy Hilton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the 1980s, interest in initiation was at its peak; it was being employed both theoretically and practically, in gender politics and humanistic therapy. How did that come to be, how should we understand 'initiation', and what can be its future? This wide-ranging book looks at the history, evolution and contemporary idea of initiation. It traces origins in the ancient Mysteries and early Christian texts, through Renaissance rediscoveries to admission in Freemasonry and anthropological investigations in French Canada and British Australia. It introduces the 'initiation discourse', as something that was constructed through centuries of translations and nineteenth century human science leading to the making of the modern concept. It argues for a subject, 'initiation studies', that effectively secularised the eighteenth-century rites of admission to produce the twentieth-century rites of passage. And it details, as compensation for this hollowing out of the mystery, the study of shaman 'spirit-workers', the idea of death and rebirth, and the later sacralisation of the liminal in adolescent/adult initiation. Finally, a contemporary revision is explored that incorporates neglected aspects like depth psychology and education for an idea of youth as a life-stage. And while ritual is now deemphasised, the religious dimension is reaffirmed with a critical analysis of cosmic consciousness, the enduring Great Mystery.

Book Synopsis Modernism and the making of the Soviet New Man by : Tijana Vujosevic
Download or read book Modernism and the making of the Soviet New Man written by Tijana Vujosevic and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of Soviet culture in the 1920s and the 1930s was the most radical of modernist projects, both in aesthetic and in political terms. Modernism and the Making of the New Man explores the architecture of this period as the nexus between aesthetics and politics. The design of the material environment, according to the author, was the social effort that most clearly articulated the dynamic of the socialist project as a negotiation between utopia and reality, the will for progress and the will for tyranny. It was a comprehensive effort that brought together professional architects and statisticians, theatre directors, managers, housewives, pilots, construction workers... What they had in common was the enthusiasm for defining the “new man”, the ideal citizen of the radiant future, and the settings in which he or she lives.

Book Synopsis Your Evolving Soul by : Byron Belitsos
Download or read book Your Evolving Soul written by Byron Belitsos and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparks of genuine revelation are contained in many religions and esoteric systems. Your Evolving Soul declares that we’ve been graced with a new revelation for our time: the little-known Urantia Book, which has quietly sold over one million copies in a dozen languages. According to the author of this comparative analysis, the disclosures about self, soul, and spirit in the Urantia Revelation stand alone in their coherence and richness of detail. Your Evolving Soul is the first book to fully explain this advanced teaching for the ordinary reader, offering clarity and inspiration for those on any path. Belitsos compares the Urantia Book’s futuristic teachings about the threefold design of the human self-system to the models of selfhood proposed by many previous thinkers, ranging from from Plato and Saint Augustine to Carl Jung and Ken Wilber. He provides essential context for this discussion by illumining the relationship of the Urantia text to scientific psychology and to the world’s religions, with special emphasis on Christianity and Buddhism. Your Evolving Soul also provides an introduction to the cosmology, theology, and philosophy of the Urantia teaching, and reveals its many affinities with contemporary integral theory and modern theology. Through his lucid interpretation of the Urantia Revelation, the author offers a model of the human self and soul to be tested, examined, and compared—not a finished truth to be accepted as doctrine. Readers of this book will discover a plausible hypothesis of how our evolving soul becomes an immortal vehicle of our true identity. They also learn how our soul-making decisions can lead to the development of a creative, loving, unified, and perfected personality, now and into the afterlife.
