In Profile of the Human Condition, the author takes direct aim at
currently held positions on science, philosophy, and religion by
closely examining the facts. Convinced that there is an underlying
simplicity to complicated and vague issues that beguile our
thinking, he set out to find a simple formula that provides
answers. How we have learned what we have learned and become what
we have become begins with recognizing we are part of a universe
comprised of three of something at every level, hence, the term
Triology. Scientific, philosophical, and religious ideas, theories,
and beliefs are challenged and shown to be not only wrong, but
aberrations of truth and common sense. Principle among these
concepts are intelligence and time, concepts that have been
presented in confusing and vague terms, leading to greater
confusion and fallacies. While the author does not present new
facts, his application is fresh, clear, and simple, not resorting
to mystical concoctions.
Ordinary Words is mostly a collection of song lyrics that have been
tweaked so as not to repeat song 'refains'. The poems with

The authors of these papers vary in age, nationality and
professional background. They share a belief that all too often
older people are not treated justly or fairly, and also a belief
that this is particularly true with regard to a proper respect for
their dignity as people and a proper allocation of medical and
social resources. Their papers, in various ways, give evidence as
to what is happening and arguments, based on philosophical ethics,
as to why it is wrong. The authors also have a range of proposals,
backed by argument and evidence, and drawing on factual material as
well as philosophical argument, as to what could be done to improve
the situation. This is a book for anyone, whether themselves
elderly, looking after an older person, professionally involved in
working with older people, or simply realising that one day they
will be old, who wants to learn about what is wrong with the
present situation and how it might be made better.
Life is all about being successful and happy. Many of us have
everything and yet find the real happiness missing. We are
constantly in pursuit of that joy which has eluded us forever, thus
far. When we realize our true nature and origin, it enables our
progression towards attaining a happy and fearless state in life.
Each one of us is a divine Soul; unborn, unchanging, immutable and
eternal; an inseparable potency of that Supreme God, who dwells in
us eternally. Though each one of us has the potential to experience
a divine existence, being immortals, we have chosen to take birth
in this mortal world; taking birth to die and dying to take birth
again, in some 8.4 million bodies. There is a mismatch in what is
happening to us. We are immortals, but the bodies we acquire in
this world are not. We can attain the divine, eternal world of God,
if we realize our imperishable relationship with God, who alone can
grant us the state we all seek. With that realization, we can
transcend causes and effects of this karmic world, overcoming grief
and pain. We not only achieve material success, but also live a
useful life, for the self, for our families and for the society.
Il Paradiso is die hoogtepunt van Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) se driedelige werk. Hy gebruik van die aangrypendste metafore en vergelykings om sy reis te beskryf. Hy is sonder twyfel een van die briljantste digters ooit.
Cas Vos se vertaling is die eerste vertaling daarvan in digvorm in Afrikaans. Hy wend verrassende en sprankelende metafore en vergelykings in sy vertaling aan en hy vertaal al die Latynse himnes op ’n indrukwekkende wyse.
Die leser word uitgenooi om die reis na die Paradiso onder die klank van sange en lieflike beelde te onderneem. ‘n Youtube-opname deur Hennie Maas van beeld en klank vergesel die bundel. Die uitmuntende akteur Dawid Minnaar lees dele uit die vertaling voor. Die opname laat die leser van Il Paradiso die tersines visueel en klankryk ervaar.
This is an autobiographical sketch of selected events, with
emphasis on church memberships and experiences, which affected my
religious philosophy that evolved into my present convictions that
all major world religions and their underlying written
documentation are the works of men, to some of whom divine
inspiration is attributed; that their deities are either
nonexistent fabrications of the authors, interpreters, and
practitioners of their particular religions, or human beings who
claim to be divine, or prophets of a deity or deities, or who were
determined by their followers to be such; and some related essays.

This Companion to the Spanish Scholastics offers a much-needed
survey of the entire field of early modern Spanish scholastic
thought. The volume introduces main themes and contexts of
scholastics inquiry (theology, philosophy, ethics, politics,
economics, law, science and the senses) through close examination
of a wide range of texts, debates, methods, and authors, as well as
in-depth discussion of the relevant literature. Each chapter
includes a useful bibliography and serves as point of departure for
future research. The volume not only draws the sum of existing
research, but also challenges established notions and breaks new
ground. Contributors: Fernanda Alfieri, Harald Braun, Paolo

With deep reading in myth and literature, one's cognition becomes
as a rich mother loam wherein spirit can dwell and build that
interior castle, from which the indwelling spirit begins to speak
through the imagination, the body, and the intellect of the
individual. Over time, body, mind, and spirit become one. Then this
'one' can and often does experience the merging within the One.
Through the merging of intuition and intellect, we will comprehend
the acceleration of consciousness that is overtaking us.
Functioning within a state of universal awareness of our oneness
will, in the long run, prove to be much easier than defining
ourselves into small groupings of discordant persons and nations.
The education and evolution of vibrant communities is our beginning
task. The creation of a world with a universal consciousness of
oneness is our ultimate realization.
"To act in accord, to make a bridge to new ways of thinking, and in
the belief that the reported experiences of individual journeys in
our studies, and in our consciousness, can be of great significance
now-at this point in time with the world in a general state of
confrontation and conflict-we offer this report from our own
research and from within this frame of reflection."
"The First Pancake" provides guidance for those undergoing a life
transition using an original, understandable pancake metaphor that
normalizes the transition process and encourages the reader to
strive for more delectable pancakes.
Tory Wilcox is a psychotherapist who provides the ingredients
for managing life changes through the five stages one goes through
when enjoying a batch of pancakes: the wake-up call, then the first
pancake, through the blender to the perfect pancake, and finally
digestion. The wake-up call encourages an examination of initial
life decisions like careers and life partners. Wilcox asks us to
pitch the less fulfilling pancakes or choices and start over,
causing our emotions to be tossed around in a blender. Once we have
realized more perfect pancakes, we can digest the changes, feel
confident about making more rewarding choices and remember to keep
adding to our stack. Wilcox offers concrete coping tools, self-help
exercises, and resource recommendations along with real-life
examples and proven strategies.
Through her innovative approach to teaching others how to
successfully handle inevitable life transitions, Wilcox provides
comfort and empowerment to those who believe self-fulfillment can
be achieved in life through a new way of thinking and acting about
change.
As long as the human race battles with an internal need to judge
and discriminate against others, chances and opportunities will
continue to favor and disfavor individuals and groups differently.
Playing God shares a discourse for those with an inquisitive mind
and those struggling to reconcile the puzzles in life with such
relatable topics as nature, religion, morality, global politics,
power, control, greed, and many others. Brown Ogwuma, a clinical
social worker, has worked in the human services field for twenty
years and appreciates philosophy and original thinking. He shares
his practical glimpse at life that he hopes will encourage others
to take a realistic approach to the way they live their own lives.
In his reflections that stem from the complexities and convoluted
nature of life, Ogwuma discusses concrete and actual
situations-both his own as well as those of other people-in order
to explore and advocate ideas and principles beyond the ordinary.
In its no-nonsense study of the authenticity of life, Playing God
lets others know that seeing life in an unconventional way can free
us to structure our lives so that the meaningful takes precedence
over what others expect of us.
Henri Bergson was a great French philosopher whose life overlapped
that of Charles Darwin. He had serious concerns about Darwins
atheistic concept of man and animals evolution. Bergson also
presented ideas of Intelligent Design almost 200 years prior to
it's regeneration in the 20th century. My book separates God from
Evolution of the cosmos and all it contains by espousing the "elan
vitale" as "of God" and the true creater of the Universe. To
