Egypt as a Monster in the Book of Ezekiel by Safwat Marzouk Pdf

Appealing to Monster Theory and the ancient Near Eastern motif of "Chaoskampf," Safwat Marzouk argues that the paradoxical character of the category of the monster is what prompts the portrayal of Egypt as a monster in the book of Ezekiel. While on the surface the monster seems to embody utter difference, underlying its otherness there is a disturbing sameness. Though the monster may be defeated and its body dismembered, it is never completely annihilated. Egypt is portrayed as a monster in the book of Ezekiel because Egypt represents the threat of religious assimilation. Although initially the monstrosity of Egypt is constructed because of the shared elements of identity between Egypt and Israel, the prophet flips this imagery of monster in order to embody Egypt as a monstrous Other. In a combat myth, YHWH defeats the monster and dismembers its body. Despite its near annihilation, Egypt, in Ezekiel's rhetoric, is not entirely obliterated. Rather, it is kept at bay, hovering at the periphery, questioning Israel's identity.

Cosmo and the Monster Within by Cosmo Lanier-Eno Pdf

My name is Cosmo Baptist Rodney Lanier-Eno. I'm Jamaican American, born around noon at Doctors Hospital in Fairfield Jamaica, right outside of Montego Bay. I lived there for the first six years of my life then I moved to New Jersey where my Grandma & Pop Pop lived, along with my aunt Diann and my only cousin Thalia. My Mom, born Peggy Lee Lanier who later on changed her name to Pele after the Hawaiian volcano goddess, was a music producer and an African / Caribbean music consultant. She managed two artists, Mutaburuka and Tony Rebel. We moved to the United States so she could be closer to the music. Its hard working from an island I suppose. Pele worked through a company called Reed Midem based in New York. My grandmother lived in New Jersey an hour away from New York. The situation was perfect. I have two older brothers Baba Ch'ien Harte and Eli Alexus Harte. Ch'ien is the oldest. Fun fact I never knew Ch'ien's real name was Baba Ch'ien. His friends called him Baba; I hated that because I know him by Ch'ien. I refused to call my brother his nickname. Later to find out that's not just a nickname but that's really his name. Yea I know it's pretty sad. I didn't know my own brothers real name but hey it happens, well maybe not often but it happens. Ch'ien has classic first born syndrome, think you're the shit and important because you're first born. You think you have some type of status, yea right it's all about the youngest. Whoop whoop. Ch'ien is the rugged type, very adventurous and outgoing. He and I have had many battles. Some verbally, some physically, some in whatever game system we had at the time. Ch'ien used to torment me growing up. Not cool. But what I hear is Eli had it ten times worse than me. Ch'ien was born in England. We all have the same mother. I have a different father; Ch'ien and Eli have the same father Nigel Harte. Nigel is pretty cool I've only met him in person once. I don't know him personally too well to base any hard feelings about him. All I really know is he was married to my Mom, they argued a lot and my Mom against Nigel's wishes left him, while the times were good they made my brothers. Nigel is from England. Eli didn't follow his dad and oldest brother he was born in California. If you're not getting it by now my Mom loves to travel. Back to my middle brother Eli, or as I would like to call him the favorite child aka Mr. Pretty Boy aka ladies' man aka the lady killer. Everyone in the family loves him. He can do no wrong. It's quiet sickening to be honest with you. He doesn't like to make waves with anyone so it makes it hard to get pissed at him. For me that doesn't matter. If you do something to piss me off I'm mad at you regardless of how nice you are. I've been mad at Eli more times than I can remember. Don't tell my Grandma that Ola Mae Lanier. She wouldn't like that. Grandma would defend Eli to no end. She is his number 1 fan, as well as the president and founder of the Eli can do no wrong' fan club. Other members in that club are my aunt, cousin and even my Mom a little. Parents are not supposed to have favorites but I'm not stupid. I will say this I could give Eli a little competition for favorite son. My Grandma on the other hand loves me and spoiled me when it comes to food but Eli still is her favorite. It's like a fabolous mix-tape there is no competition. I haven't had the best relationship with my Grandma. It can be more rocky than smooth. She can be very crazy and mean. We have our moments of peace but mostly for my whole life we bumped heads. She bumps heads with everyone. I care for her because she is my Grandmother and for goodness sake she birthed my Mom who birthed me. There aren't many reasons why I love her; it's not all bad but there's not much good either, which is sad. She is a handful and has made my life very stressful and any family member that has been in steady contact with her. You wouldn't believe that by looking at her. She is

Child of the Cosmos (in color) by Serge Dahan Pdf

In Serge DahanÕs second collection of poetry, Child of the Cosmos, he reveals his heart and his road of trials. In so doing, it is a book of self-knowledge and self-compassion. The poems seem to stand as a bridge between the illusory world and suffering and the soul that is ultimately a place of peace. These are poems that question our troubles and offer the reader freedom and solid ground.

Cosmos, Chaos and the Kosher Mentality by David Bryan Pdf

This is an innovative investigation of the puzzling animal imagery found in three 2nd-century BCE texts: the Animal Apocalypse (1 Enoch 85-90), the Testament of Naphtali and Daniel 7. It urges that a sense of cultural change is required to understand this well-known imagery, and argues in particular that the mentality underlying the kosher legislation played a significant, even if unconscious, role in the imagination of the various authors. A reading of the Animal Apocalypse is offered which argues that the author utilized the unclean precisely because they represent for him the forces of chaos set in opposition to God. Bryan acknowledges that the bizarre creatures of T. Naph. 5 and Daniel 7 belong to a different kind of imagery (Mischwesen), but argues that awareness of the influence of the kosher mentality opens up new explanations. As mixed creatures, they represent a radical break with order. They are an intense form of unclean creature, and those whom they represent are perceived to be living embodiments of the powers of chaos.

Time and Sacrifice in the Aztec Cosmos by Kay Almere Read Pdf

This introduction to the imaginative world of the Mexica (or Aztec) explores sacrifice in the richly textured life of 16th-century Mexico. Kay Almere Read describes a universe in which every object was timed by a given lifespan and in which sacrifice was the mechanism by which time functioned. This book makes a convincing case for what sacrifice meant religiously and for how it came to be that human sacrifice of staggering proportions could be accepted, matter-of-factly, by the Mexica people.

Cosmos, Chaos and the World to Come by Norman Cohn Pdf

All over the world people look forward to a perfect future, when the forces of good will be finally victorious over the forces of evil. Once this was a radically new way of imagining the destiny of the world and of mankind. How did it originate, and what kind of world-view preceded it? In this engrossing book, the author of the classic work The Pursuit of the Millennium takes us on a journey of exploration, through the world-views of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India, through the innovations of Iranian and Jewish prophets and sages, to the earliest Christian imaginings of heaven on earth. Until around 1500 B.C., it was generally believed that once the world had been set in order by the gods, it was in essence immutable. However, it was always a troubled world. By means of flood and drought, famine and plague, defeat in war, and death itself, demonic forces threatened and impaired it. Various combat myths told how a divine warrior kept the forces of chaos at bay and enabled the world to survive. Sometime between 1500 and 1200 B.C., the Iranian prophet Zoroaster broke from that static yet anxious world-view, reinterpreting the Iranian version of the combat myth. For Zoroaster, the world was moving, through incessant conflict, toward a conflictless state—“cosmos without chaos.” The time would come when, in a prodigious battle, the supreme god would utterly defeat the forces of chaos and their human allies and eliminate them forever, and so bring an absolutely good world into being. Cohn reveals how this vision of the future was taken over by certain Jewish groups, notably the Jesus sect, with incalculable consequences. Deeply informed yet highly readable, this magisterial book illumines a major turning-point in the history of human consciousness. It will be mandatory reading for all who appreciated The Pursuit of the Millennium.

Cosmos and Creation by Michael W. Duggan,Renate Egger-Wenzel,Stefan C. Reif Pdf

This volume contains essays by some of the leading scholars in the study of the Jewish religious ideas in the Second Temple period, that led up to the development of early forms of Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity. Close attention is paid to the cosmological ideas to be found in the Ancient Near East and in the Hebrew Bible and to the manner in which the translators of the Hebrew Bible into Greek reflected the creativity with which Judaism engaged Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos and the creation. The concepts of heaven and divine power, human mortality, the forces of nature, combat myths, and the philosophy of wisdom, as they occur in 2 Maccabees, Ben Sira, Wisdom of Solomon and Tobit, are carefully analysed and compared with Greek and Roman world-views. There are also critical examinations of Dead Sea scroll texts, early Jewish prayers and Hebrew liturgical poetry and how they these adopt, adapt and alter earlier ideas. The editors have included appreciations of two major figures who played important roles in the study of the Second Temple period and in the history and development of the ISDCL, namely, Otto Kaiser and Alexander Di Lella, who died recently and are greatly missed by those in the field.

Dynamic Structures in an Open Cosmos by Mathias Hüfner Pdf

The restoration of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences served to reconcile science with faith. In other words, physics should be made subservient to faith. The spiritual shepherd nourishes his sheep using paradoxes. For example, the immaculate conception served for centuries. But this belief isn't time relevant anymore. Better is a beliefe based on mathematics. Modern physics is characterized by a number of paradoxes that can be traced back to the incorrect use of mathematical means of expression in a closed system. Now, out of concern for the common house, Pope Francis has released the connection to a closed theory with the groundbreaking sentence: "In this universe made up of open systems that communicate with one another, we can discover innumerable forms of relationship and participation." Now we are any more looking relativistically at the cosmos as a symmetric blown up ball. We are going back to a real view of an energy dissipative world. Read how we build on the successes of physics in the 19th century and apply the ideas of Iljy Prigogine on the thermodynamics of open systems to dynamic vortex structures in an open cosmos. Mechanics, thermodynamics and electrodynamics merge with Maxwell's and Stokes' equations to form a unit and the paradoxes disappear wonderfully and we now recognize that a projection of a real vortex filament into a plane gave rise to the idea of an abstract quantum mechanical wave function. This gives us simple physics from the macrocosm to the microcosm, free of contradictions, and we learn how nuclear fusion really works. This opens up a clean, CO2-free, effective energy source for us in the future. The book assumes a basic mathematical and scientific understanding, as it should be conveyed in high schools, but complicated mathematical derivations are largely dispensed with. After "Modern Astrophysics meets Engineering", it is the author's second book.

The Unnameable Monster in Literature and Film by Maria Beville Pdf

This book visits the 'Thing' in its various manifestations as an unnameable monster in literature and film, reinforcing the idea that the very essence of the monster is its excess and its indeterminacy. Tied primarily to the artistic modes of the gothic, science fiction, and horror, the unnameable monster retains a persistent presence in literary forms as a reminder of the sublime object that exceeds our worst fears. Beville examines various representations of this elusive monster and argues that we must looks at the monster, rather than through it, at ourselves. As such, this book responds to the obsessive manner in which the monsters of literature and culture are ‘managed’ in processes of classification and in claims that they serve a social function by embodying all that is horrible in the human imagination. The book primarily considers literature from the Romantic period to the present, and film that leans toward postmodernism. Incorporating disciplines such as cultural theory, film theory, literary criticism, and continental philosophy, it focuses on that most difficult but interesting quality of the monster, its unnameability, in order to transform and accelerate current readings of not only the monsters of literature and film, but also those that are the focus of contemporary theoretical discussion.
