Book Synopsis Contemplativo y contemplado: tu vida a pleno pulmón by : Carlos Chiclana Actis
Download or read book Contemplativo y contemplado: tu vida a pleno pulmón written by Carlos Chiclana Actis and published by Ediciones Día Diez. This book was released on with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Y si fuera verdad que puedes ser contemplativo en medio del mundo? En el Catecismo sugiere que sí: "No se puede meditar en todo momento, pero sí se puede entrar siempre en contemplación, independientemente de las condiciones de salud, trabajo o afectividad. ¿Y si no fuera independientemente sino precisamente a través de esas condiciones? Suena pretencioso si el fundamento lo pones en ti mismo y en la propia acción. Si los cimientos de esa vida contemplativa están en los regalos que Dios hace, ni suena pretencioso ni es algo exagerado, sin más es que Dios te envuelve con sus brazos y manos de madre y de padre, te recoge en su regazo y te da a conocer y sentir más íntimamente su maternidad y su paternidad. Tú tan feliz como hijo de Dios que se deja acoger como el niño que es abrazado por Jesús: “Y acercó a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos, lo abrazó”. La contemplación y la búsqueda de ser contemplativo en medio del mundo tienen un doble actuar, que sería dejarse buscar por Dios y hacerlo de forma activa: un ascetismo sonriente contemplativo y contemplado. Activamente me pongo en disposición de amar a Dios, de servirle en los demás, de adorarle y pasivamente espero a que Él se manifieste cuando quiera. El objetivo de estas líneas es hacer de altavoz a las enseñanzas de san Josemaría y de hacerlas resonar con las aportaciones de otros autores como Franz Jalics, Thomas Keating, Pablo d’Ors, san Juan de la Cruz y otros tantos que han recorrido este camino antes que nosotros. Abre los regalos que la vida, tu vida, te brinda y vívela a pleno pulmón. El premio es ya el camino, hacer el bien y disfrutar del cielo en la tierra.
Book Synopsis La luz y las imágenes by : Adrienne von Speyr
Download or read book La luz y las imágenes written by Adrienne von Speyr and published by Saint John Publications. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el ciclo de catequesis sobre la oración (2020-2021), Papa Francisco nos anima a centrarnos en la oración: hoy mismo y con todo el corazón. La oración es un tesoro de la Iglesia que da gratuitamente y quiere recibir gratuitamente. “La oración abre la puerta a Dios, transformando nuestro corazón, tantas veces de piedra, en un corazón humano”, nos dice el Papa. Y a medida que nuestra vida se hace más compleja, más rápida y más desconcertante tanto más necesaria se vuelve para el cristiano el acto de centrarse en la oración.En este sentido, nos alegramos de presentar aquí por primera vez en idioma español unas meditaciones de Adrienne von Speyr sobre la oración contemplativa que llevan por título: “La luz y las imágenes”. La luz y las imágenes son los “presupuestos más altos y más amplios de la oración contemplativa” nos dice Hans Urs von Balthasar en su introducción, porque son los “principios fundamentales” de la Revelación misma. El presente libro desarrolla en once capítulos la interacción fecunda de Revelación y oración. Vivir en esa reciprocidad enciende el fuego del amor de Dios en el corazón del cristiano, quien así tiene la gracia de ser una imagen y una luz de Dios para el hermano y para la creación.

Book Synopsis A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish by : John Butt
Download or read book A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish written by John Butt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword: "While large-scale machine learning and data mining have greatly impacted a range of commercial applications, their use in the field of Earth sciences is still in the early stages. This book, edited by Ashok Srivastava, Ramakrishna Nemani, and Karsten Steinhaeuser, serves as an outstanding resource for anyone interested in the opportunities and challenges for the machine learning community in analyzing these data sets to answer questions of urgent societal interest...I hope that this book will inspire more computer scientists to focus on environmental applications, and Earth scientists to seek collaborations with researchers in machine learning and data mining to advance the frontiers in Earth sciences." --Vipin Kumar, University of Minnesota Large-Scale Machine Learning in the Earth Sciences provides researchers and practitioners with a broad overview of some of the key challenges in the intersection of Earth science, computer science, statistics, and related fields. It explores a wide range of topics and provides a compilation of recent research in the application of machine learning in the field of Earth Science. Making predictions based on observational data is a theme of the book, and the book includes chapters on the use of network science to understand and discover teleconnections in extreme climate and weather events, as well as using structured estimation in high dimensions. The use of ensemble machine learning models to combine predictions of global climate models using information from spatial and temporal patterns is also explored. The second part of the book features a discussion on statistical downscaling in climate with state-of-the-art scalable machine learning, as well as an overview of methods to understand and predict the proliferation of biological species due to changes in environmental conditions. The problem of using large-scale machine learning to study the formation of tornadoes is also explored in depth. The last part of the book covers the use of deep learning algorithms to classify images that have very high resolution, as well as the unmixing of spectral signals in remote sensing images of land cover. The authors also apply long-tail distributions to geoscience resources, in the final chapter of the book.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible by : Michael Lieb
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible written by Michael Lieb and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, reception history has become an increasingly important and controversial topic of discussion in biblical studies. Rather than attempting to recover the original meaning of biblical texts, reception history focuses on exploring the history of interpretation. In doing so it locates the dominant historical-critical scholarly paradigm within the history of interpretation, rather than over and above it. At the same time, the breadth of material and hermeneutical issues that reception history engages with questions any narrow understanding of the history of the Bible and its effects on faith communities. The challenge that reception history faces is to explore tradition without either reducing its meaning to what faith communities think is important, or merely offering anthologies of interesting historical interpretations. This major new handbook addresses these matters by presenting reception history as an enterprise (not a method) that questions and understands tradition afresh. The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible consciously allows for the interplay of the traditional and the new through a two-part structure. Part I comprises a set of essays surveying the outline, form, and content of twelve key biblical books that have been influential in the history of interpretation. Part II offers a series of in-depth case studies of the interpretation of particular key biblical passages or books with due regard for the specificity of their social, cultural or aesthetic context. These case studies span two millennia of interpretation by readers with widely differing perspectives. Some are at the level of a group response (from Gnostic readings of Genesis, to Post-Holocaust Jewish interpretations of Job); others examine individual approaches to texts (such as Augustine and Pelagius on Romans, or Gandhi on the Sermon on the Mount). Several chapters examine historical moments, such as the 1860 debate over Genesis and evolution, while others look to wider themes such as non-violence or millenarianism. Further chapters study in detail the works of popular figures who have used the Bible to provide inspiration for their creativity, from Dante and Handel, to Bob Dylan and Dan Brown.

Book Synopsis The Heart of Centering Prayer by : Cynthia Bourgeault
Download or read book The Heart of Centering Prayer written by Cynthia Bourgeault and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling author of The Wisdom Jesus and The Meaning of Mary Magdalene demystifies the popular Christian meditation method rooted in contemplative prayer Centering Prayer is the path to a wonderful and radical new way of seeing the world. It is not, as is sometimes thought, simply an act of devotional piety, nor is it simply a Christianized form of other meditation methods. Cynthia Bourgeault here cuts through the misconceptions to show that Centering Prayer is in fact a pioneering development within the Christian contemplative tradition. She provides a practical, complete course in the practice and then goes deeper to analyze what actually happens in Centering Prayer: the mind effectively switches to a new operating system that makes possible the perception of nonduality. With this understanding in place, she then takes us on a journey through one of the sources of the practice, the Christian contemplative classic The Cloud of Unknowing, revealing it to be among the earliest Christian explorations of the phenomenology of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault’s illumination of the Centering Prayer path provides compelling evidence of how important the practice has become in the half-century since it first arose among American Trappist monks, and of its maturation and refinement over the ensuing years of sincere study and practice. It will resonate with beginners on the Centering Prayer path as well as with seasoned practitioners.

Book Synopsis Cecilia Valdés or El Angel Hill by : Cirilo Villaverde
Download or read book Cecilia Valdés or El Angel Hill written by Cirilo Villaverde and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
Book Synopsis Cultural Materialism by : Marvin Harris
Download or read book Cultural Materialism written by Marvin Harris and published by AltaMira Press. This book was released on 2001-08-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Materialism, published in 1979, was Marvin Harris's first full-length explication of the theory with which his work has been associated. While Harris has developed and modified some of his ideas over the past two decades, generations of professors have looked to this volume as the essential starting point for explaining the science of culture to students. Now available again after a hiatus, this edition of Cultural Materialism contains the complete text of the original book plus a new introduction by Orna and Allen Johnson that updates his ideas and examines the impact that the book and theory have had on anthropological theorizing.
