A Transverse Dreamer by Bob Becking Pdf

The final text of the Book of Micah provokes a series of questions: - Can the Book be read as a coherent composition or is it the result of a complex redaction history? - Was Micah a prophet of doom whose literary heritage was later softened by the inclusion of oracles of salvation? The essays in this book center around these questions. Some of them are of a more general character, while others analyze specific passages. Some articles discuss the Book of Micah by looking at specific themes (prophecy; religious polemics; metaphors). The others are concerned with the proclamation of a peaceful future (Micah 4:1-5); the famous moral incentive in Micah 6:8 and the question of prophetic and divine gender in Micah 7:8-13. They have two features in common: - A thorough reading of the Hebrew text informed by grammar and syntax. - A comparative approach: the Book of Micah is seen as part of the ancient Near Eastern culture. All in all, the author defends the view that the Book of Micah contains three independent literary elements: Micah 1: a prophecy of doom; Micah 2-5 a two-sided futurology, and 6-8 a later appropriation of Micah’s message.

Valiant Dreamers by Jack Poole Pdf

In the 17th and 18th centuries the great powers of the world were concentrating energy, wealth, and ingenuity on the expansion of their empires far beyond the historical examples of Rome, Greece and Egypt. The Empire of Russia, expanding her borders under Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, was pressing toward the development of a Russian North America in the reign of Tsar Alexander. His weapon, unlike the military conquests of Spain, Portugal, France and England, was trade and commerce like the Dutch. Along with the giants of the North, Pribylov, Bering, Golikov and Shelikhov, Count Nikolai Rezànov earned fame and fortune as an intrepid explorer of the 18th Century. This is his story, and the story of the valiant men and women who adopted his dream of an Empire stretching from St. Petersburg to San Francisco.

The Dreaming Circus by Jim Morris Pdf

• Explains how the author became a student of Toltec spiritual teacher don Miguel Ruiz and how he traveled the world, as well as the astral realms, undergoing a deep spiritual journey of change • Details how the author discovered LSD after the Vietnam War and even tripped while skydiving • Recounts his time as a civil rights advocate and war correspondent, and how Toltec shamanism helped prepare him to ease his wife’s long end-of-life journey During his third tour of duty in Vietnam where he served as a Green Beret, Jim Morris was wounded badly enough to be retired from the army. He came home bitter, angry that his career had been ended. After reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, he realized that many members of Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters had also been combat officers. Following this spiritual “hint,” he spent the next couple of years as an acid head, even skydiving on LSD. Awakened by his LSD experiences, Morris immersed himself in the books of Carlos Castaneda as well as in Kriya yoga, Charismatic Christianity, and A Course in Miracles. From these experiences he was led to Toltec spiritual teacher don Miguel Ruiz and began a deep spiritual journey of change. Sharing his journey from PTSD to spiritual awakening, Morris recounts his time as a civil rights advocate for the Montagnard people in Vietnam and his years as a war correspondent at the same time he was following Castaneda’s Warrior’s Way. He describes his momentous meeting with don Miguel Ruiz as well as his travels around the world and in the astral realms. Sharing how his wife developed dementia and later became paralyzed, Morris explains how it required all his Toltec training, all his military training, everything he had to share her final years in a meaningful and fulfilling way. Written from a deep understanding of Toltec techniques this book shows in a heartfelt and resonant way what a spiritual path can give you.

Poems About Remembering Yesterday, Living Today, and Dreaming about Tomorrow by Jim Kocon Pdf

The purpose of this book of poetry is that while I was in the military, I read poems by the then poet laureate of the United States. I used him as my mentor. These poems reflect the inside of me; sometimes lonely, sometimes in love, but mostly wondering what life is all about, which I am sure we all wonder. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 219-286-7377. I thank you for purchasing this book and hope that Our Heavenly Father will always be at your side.

Vicarious Dreaming by Ernest Hunter Pdf

Millions of years in the making, sustaining human voyagers and societies for millennia, a couple of centuries of that by Europeans - the Great Barrier Reef - in maybe five or six decades the largest living structure visible from space will have become the largest dead one. Vicarious Dreaming documents a series of personal voyages between Cooktown and the Torres Strait that are interwoven with accounts of exploration, exploitation and escape. The travels and tales coalesce around the works of Ion Idriess and the lives of solitary men at the edge of the world, drawn to the wild by folly and obsession, and to an island in the Howick Group that Idriess knew well and which was the site of his first book - Madman's Island. And as with the slow-motion ecological catastrophe that is the Reef's agonal decline there are players - and bystanders; stories of people and places, of life and death, of arrivals and departures, and of journeys that involve even the most remote, uninhabited spaces - the necklace of islands scattered along more than two thousand kilometres of Queensland's Coral Sea coast. At once a journey into the far north of Australia and into the furthest depths of the human mind. A tale of Cape York's past and a new chapter in the exploration of its present. A dream narrative - maybe; a case study - perhaps; literary art, yes, absolutely, in its purest and most ambitious form. - Nicholas Rothwell

«Thought and Meditation» by Oris Oris Pdf

Thoughts, unlike objects, do not belong to you: they come from somewhere else all the time, stay and interact with your Consciousness for a while, and then imperceptibly disappear to somewhere. Your thinking is the process of continuously synthesizing in your reality newer and newer Forms from the already known to you mental and sensual experience. Therefore for you the thinking process represents the «beginning» and the «end» of absolutely all of your desires - from getting some material benefits to achieving «higher» (according to your concepts) spiritual goals. By mastering the art of mental transformations, you will have an absolutely real means of consciously controlling the material conditions of your earthly existence. By improving in this direction, your mentality can reach the point where it becomes possible to control the powerful factors of the natural elements of Nature, influencing not only the weather, but also such destructive phenomena as tornadoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis with the power of your Mind…

Dreaming the Rational City by M. Christine Boyer Pdf

Dreaming the Rational City is both a history of the city planning profession in the United States and a major polemical statement about the effort to plan and reform the American city. Boyer shows why city planning, which had so much promise at the outset for making cities more liveable, largely failed. She reveals planning's real responsibilities and goals, including the kind of "rational order" that was actually forseen by the planning mentality, and concludes that the planners have continuously served the needs of the dominant capitalist economy.
