Book Synopsis The Knowledge of Everything by : Anthony Wakefield Hill
Download or read book The Knowledge of Everything written by Anthony Wakefield Hill and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the author says, 'In the course of this book, I have made the odyssey from Dark to Light - for the world as a whole ... In accordance with the knowledge of everything, my work deals variously with the subjects mainly concerning religion, art, science and psychology, these being the main parameters of our universe.' Anthony Wakefield Hill's fascinating journey into the meaning of mankind and the fabric of creation has as its central symbol the image of the cross. His own troubled life has indeed been a heavy cross to bear, but his excellent discussions on painting, form, paradox and human behaviour take the reader into 'a whole new world based on consciousness'. In discovering and mastering ourselves through consciousness, we can bypass the siren calls of false love, peer pressure, angst and material obsession. Then we can slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of our Maker - and the author will be our willing guide. The Knowledge of Everything is precisely that: a compendium of all facts pertinent to the running of the Cosmos, practical as well as theoretical. While necessarily a summary, this volume deals with every major aspect of existence, and proffers the fruit of fifty years' thinking and experience, won in the ferocious Battle for Life. ANTHONY WAKEFIELD HILL left school at fifteen with practically no qualifications, determined to make his way without any. Working for thirty-odd years in London as an itinerant labourer and artist, he learnt his trade as a writer. His first book, The One and the Many, was written, for the most part, when he was twenty, but not published for forty years owing to inproficient publisher's readers. This much-persecuted author is under continuing abuse from psychiatry - something God is getting very angry about. Having been misdiagnosed early on in his career, Mr Hill has never been given an objective or competent examination, and his case has been over-complicated by the number of inept doctors he has been under; the truth has been well-nigh irretrievably obscured. Is this writer, whom many hail as a prophet, to go to his grave with the appellation 'schizophrenic' around his neck? It is not the fact that he is intellectually sound that proves his mental integrity, for even that does not preclude illness; but the content of his work, and his manifest humanity, can surely leave the unbiased reader in no doubt of his emotional probity.
Book Synopsis Language and Silence by : George Steiner
Download or read book Language and Silence written by George Steiner and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution and manipulation of language from the celebrated author of After Babel. “A keenly discriminating literary mind at work on what it loves” (The New York Times Book Review). Language and Silence is a book about language—and politics, meaning, silence, and the future of literature. Originally published between 1958 and 1966, the essays that make up this collection ponder whether we have passed out of an era of verbal primacy and into one of post-linguistic forms—or partial silence. Steiner explores the idea of the abandonment of contemporary literary criticism, from the classics to the works of William Shakespeare, Lawrence Durell, Thomas Mann, Leon Trotsky, and more.
Book Synopsis Silence in Second Language Learning by : Colette A. Granger
Download or read book Silence in Second Language Learning written by Colette A. Granger and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the under-researched and often troubling phenomenon of silence in second language learning through a triangulation of SLA research, memoirs and language learner diaries, and psychoanalytic concepts of anxiety, ambivalence, conflict and loss. It moves beyond the view of silence as the mere absence of speech, inviting the reader to consider it as both a psychical event and a linguistic moment in the continuous process of identity formation.
Download or read book Out of Silence written by Russell Martin and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of one particular little boy trapped in silence, struggling to regain language. And it is the story of every one of us who uses language in much the same way we breathe: effortlessly, intuitively, taking this gift for granted in our daily lives. In a work that captures the whole universe of language, Russell Martin probes this most profound and complex human trait but never abandons his central concern, always circling back to the troubling question of the speechless child. Investigating the mystery of what went wrong and why, he spins a tale of detection, unearthing disturbing truths and reaching surprising conclusions. In the end, his is a spellbinding drama; a tale of one family's determination to help their child find his way back to words; a story of one school's willingness to make room for this child; a story, too, about big, seemingly insurmountable problems, and small but noble victories. In combining this story, with an elegant inquiry into the totality of language, Martin takes us on a voyage of discovery into the very essence of what makes us human. Moving us with the miracle of language, he tells a tale that is a cause for celebration. "A wholly remarkable book . . . Martin leaves us with a deeper understanding of language itself, a richer appreciation of its promise, and a realization that the ability to communicate is a kind of grace." --The Los Angeles Times "A deeply moving rendering of human beings in adversity. . . Other accounts of the suffering of autism have been published, but few can vie with this one for thoughtfulness, scholarship, and personal accent." --New York Times Book Review "The journey into language is a magical passage for any of us, and Russell Martin's brilliantly observed story of a boy struggling to speak takes us into the latest realms of how and why words come to us, and we to them." --Ivan Doig, author of This House of Sky and English Creek
Book Synopsis Your Silence Will Not Protect You by : Audre Lorde
Download or read book Your Silence Will Not Protect You written by Audre Lorde and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Silence Will Not Protect You collects the essential essays and poems of Audre Lorde for the first time, including the classic 'The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House'. A trailblazer in intersectional feminism, Lorde's luminous writings have inspired a new generation of thinkers and writers charged by the Black Lives Matter movement. Her lyrical and incisive prose takes on sexism, racism, homophobia, and class; reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope that remain ever-more trenchant today. Also a celebrated poet, Lorde was New York State Poet Laureate until her death; her poetry and prose together produced an aphoristic and incomparably quotable style, as evidenced by her constant presence on many Women's Marches against Trump across the world. This beautiful edition honours the ways in which Lorde's work resonates more than ever thirty years after they were first published.

Book Synopsis The Power of Silence by : Carlos Castaneda
Download or read book The Power of Silence written by Carlos Castaneda and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the secrets of shamanism continues as “don Juan takes Casteneda to the deeper realms of his teachings” (Milwaukee Journal). Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, and shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical.” The Power of Silence is a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan Matus’s mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda’s unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves—unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan—and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda’s books.” —The New York Times “His insights paved the way for the future evolution of human consciousness. We are all deeply indebted to him.” —Deepak Chopra
Book Synopsis The Ragged Edge of Silence by : John Francis, Ph.D.
Download or read book The Ragged Edge of Silence written by John Francis, Ph.D. and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of Planetwalker, The Ragged Edge of Silence takes us to another level of appreciating, through silence, the beauty of the planet and our place in it. John Francis's real and compelling prose forms a tapestry of questions and answers woven from interviews, stories, personal experience, science, and the power of silence through history, including practice by Native American, Hindu, and Buddhist cultures. Through their time-honored traditions and his own experience of communicating silently for 17 years, Francis's practical exercises lay the groundwork for the reader to build constructive silence into everyday life: to learn more about oneself, to set goals and accomplish dreams, to build strong relationships, and to appreciate and be a steward of the Earth. With its amazing human interest element and first-person expertise, this book is energizing and universally instructive.

From the foreword by Emanuel Sjogren, musician and student of Giten since 5 years.
Book Synopsis The Language of Silence by : Ernestine Schlant
Download or read book The Language of Silence written by Ernestine Schlant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on individual authors from Heinrich Boll to Gunther Grass, Hermann Lenz to Peter Schneider, The Language of Silence offers an analysis of West German literature as it tries to come to terms with the Holocaust and its impact on postwar West German society. Exploring postwar literature as the barometer of Germany's unconsciously held values as well as of its professed conscience, Ernestine Schlant demonstrates that the confrontation with the Holocaust has shifted over the decades from repression, circumvention, and omission to an open acknowledgement of the crimes. Yet even today a 'language of silence' remains since the victims and their suffering are still overlooked and ignored. Learned and exacting, Schlant's study makes an important contribution to our understanding of postwar German culture.
