"FOLLOWING THE LIGHT" is a guide in practical theology. Theology
pertains to the field of study and analysis that examines the
God-consciousness: its attributes and relationship to the universe.
Included in this book are examples of divine happenings, which
establish religious truths or enlightenment. Finally, this book
discusses how "FOLLOWING THE LIGHT" can help enrich our
understanding of Theology as it applies to our daily lives.
"FOLLOWING THE LIGHT" describes how everything we do or experience
is intertwined and affects our personal development. It discusses
how metaphysics, psychology, physics, paranormal activity, and
parapsychology interact with each other as they relates to our
Divine-essence, or Spirit, from its beginning through completion.
Further, we examine some common beliefs and misconceptions as they
relate to modern scientific studies that follow metaphysical
principles and practices. The author has included some of his
personal experiences as examples. Rev. Klaman had been meditating,
praying, and studying --with a burning desire for the answers to
his questions: Who or what is God? Why are we here? Moreover, how
do Jesus, Moses, the Bible, parapsychology, paranormal activity,
and science fit into this puzzle? He devoted his life to finding
the answers, but little did he know he was about to receive them in
a big way More than ever before, people today are asking important
questions about theology that need and deserve answers. Identifying
and answering those questions is the purpose of this book. This
book provides the reader an opportunity to receive the benefit of
learning the truth about God and our purpose in life, including how
science, the paranormal, and other pieces of the puzzle all fit
together. You will learn that this life is your creation; enjoy it
while "FOLLOWING THE LIGHT"

The HR chicks have many comical experiences working together. Well,
we think so. She has seen it all and has had to deal with many
unpleasant experiences. She had gotten to a point in her career
where work was just a job. Insert me here. I had experience, but
was not prepared for the environment I had walked in to. I was used
to a more "normal" environment so to speak. But let's be honest, is
normal really any fun anymore? Can you laugh at normal? Write a
book about it? No. I had decided early on I wanted to be involved
in HR or training of some sort. Why I will never know. Something
about the field has always drawn me in. Intrigued me so to speak,
but for this job, thank God I minored in Psychology. The HR chicks
clicked immediately. A mentor relationship was formed and work
became a playground that they both actually enjoyed going to. Well
let me rephrase, it became tolerable. She gave me the knowledge and
know-how to be successful, and I gave her a new perspective and my
wacky view on things to make the environment more enjoyable. Our
stories in this book are crazy, yes. Is it our perspective of the
situation, yes, but remember we are professionals, because WE are
the HR chicks.
The Nature of Depression: An Updated Review provides clear
connections between psychiatric and neurological disorders. Unlike
prior books on depression, this book covers many neurological and
psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson's disease, major
depressive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, addiction and
anxiety disorder. In addition, this book covers different forms of
depression, including transition-induced depression and the
development of depression following major life events, including
birth of a child, menopause and retirement.
This book has been in the making since my days at Ahmadu Bello
University Zaria, in the Faculty of Education. I had always wanted
to produce a book that is small and easy enough to read and yet
succinct to meet the needs of the undergraduate or graduate
students in Education who are preparing for their sessional exams
The book has undergone considerable revisions to meet that target
goal. In part these revisions have been necessitated by the
geometric increase in our knowledge of general psychology, as well
as science, in the last two decades. This is to say nothing of the
psychology of learning. The increase in our knowledge- base has
further been doubled by the new technology of the Internet. Some
have even argued that, the availability of the Internet has
rendered the publishing of such books redundant. However, I'm
convinced that books would continue to play a central role in our
lives for the foreseeable future. I had wanted to include most of
the material that psychologists subsume under the heading of
learning. I have tried to include important topics as well as new
developments in the field that I believe an undergraduate student
will find useful. Also included are "cultural Implications," which
are applications of the general topic in a classroom setting in the
relevant culture.
Selections from Science and Sanity represents Alfred Korzybski's
authorized abridgement of his magnum opus, Science and Sanity: An
Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics.
This second edition, published in response to the recent Korzybski
revival, adds new introductory material and a revised index,
providing an accessible introduction to Korzybski's arguments
concerning the need for a non-Aristotelian approach to knowledge,
thought, perception, and language, to coincide with our
non-Newtonian physics and non-Euclidean geometries, to Korzybski's
practical philosophy, applied psychology, pragmatics of human
communication, and educational program. Selections from Science and
Sanity serves as an excellent introduction to general semantics as
a system intended to aid the individual's adjustment to reality,
enhance intellectual and creative activities, and alleviate the
many social ills that have plagued humanity throughout our history.
This collection "TWO ACT PLAYS" contains two two act plays:
"Redemption," and "Death of a Psychiatrist."
Filipino Americans are projected to become the largest Asian
American population by 2010. As the second largest immigrant group
in the country, there are approximately 3 million documented and
undocumented Filipino Americans in the US. Filipino Americans are
unique in many ways. They are descendants of the Philippines, a
country that was colonized by Spain for over three centuries and by
the US for almost 50 years. They are the only ethnic group that has
been categorized as Asian American, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and
even as their own separate ethnicity. Because of diverse
phenotypes, they are often perceived as being Asian, Latino,
multiracial, and others. And contrary to the Model Minority Myth,
Filipino Americans have experienced several health, psychological,
and educational disparities, including lower college graduation
rates and higher levels of cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
obesity, teen pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, depression, and
suicide. Despite these disparaging statistics, Filipino Americans
have made significant contributions to the US, ever since their
first arrivals in October 1587- from their involvement in the
United Farmworkers Movement to their roles in hip-hop culture and
their presence in medicine, education, and the arts. However,
Filipino Americans have also been referred to as the "Forgotten
Asian Americans" because of their invisibility in mainstream media,
academia, and politics. Filipino American Psychology: A Collection
of Personal Narratives offers an intimate look at the lives of
Filipino Americans through stories involving ethnic identity,
colonial mentality, cultural conflicts, and experiences with
gender, sexual orientation, and multiraciality. Writers
courageously address how they cope with mental health issues-
including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicide.
Theories and concepts from the book's predecessor, Filipino
American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical
Practice can be applied through the voices of a diverse collection
of Filipino Americans.
