Life Understood by Frederick L. Rawson Pdf

Though he made his fortune pioneering practical uses for electricity, Frederick Lawson was also an active and vocal adherent of New Thought philosophies, early "New Age" thinking that promoted the belief in "mind over matter" and in the concept that godly powers could be found within us all. This classic book-first published in 1912 and the textbook of the organization Lawson founded, the Society for Spreading the Knowledge of True Prayer-explores the new realms of human experience New Thought thinking was uncovering, including: . Unaccounted-for human capacity and animal wonders . Hell as an individual state of human consciousness . New truths "hateful to the sluggard" . Proof of our knowledge of Heaven . Constant conscious communion with God . The value of prophecy . Instantaneous healing . The collective force of foolish beliefs . And much, much more. British engineer, businessman, and author FREDERICK LAWRENCE RAWSON (1859-1923) also wrote How to Bring About Permanent Peace (1916), Secret of Divine Protection (1918) and Nature of True Prayer (1920).

The Life of Understanding by James Risser Pdf

In Gadamer's hermeneutics, interpretation is inseparable from the broader concern of making one's way in life. In this book, James Risser builds on this insight about the juxtaposition of human living and the act of understanding by tracing hermeneutics back to the basic experience of philosophy as defined by Plato. For Risser, Plato provides resources for new directions in hermeneutics and new possibilities for "the life of understanding" and "the understanding of life." Risser places Gadamer in dialogue with Plato, with the issue of memory as a conceptual focus. He develops themes pertaining to hermeneutics such as retrieval as a matter of convalescence, exile as a venture into the foreign, formation with respect to oneself and to life with others, the experience of language in hermeneutics, and the relationship between speaking and writing.

Understanding Death as Life’s Paradox by Brayton Polka Pdf

This book focuses on death as life’s paradox in order to test, to put on trial, what it means for us human beings to exist. No one of us chooses to be born. Yet, having been born, we must choose to have been born, to live, to exist. To exist is to choose to exist. To choose to exist is to live with our choices. This text argues that death is the limit of life, that we can live freely and lovingly, at once justly and compassionately, solely within the limit of death. It shows that we can develop a comprehensive conception of life, and also of death, solely insofar as we learn to overcome the dualistic opposition between philosophy and theology that continues today to falsify our understanding of not only the secular, but also the sacred.

Understanding the Seasons of Life by Joké Solanké Pdf

Although we are usually adept at preparing for the predictable seasonal changes of nature, we often do not have the understanding or insight necessary to handle changes that occur within the seasons of life. As a result, we are sometimes left flailing when the future we envisioned vanishes or when the relationships that once brought us joy suddenly become the source of unexplainable pain and anguish. Joké Solanké relies on her background as an inspirational speaker, mentor, and coach to share personal stories, a roadmap to understanding the ever-changing seasons of life, and strategies to engage each season in the face of inevitable adversity and pain that comes our way sooner or later in life. Through her insight, stories, and practical tools, Solanké guides others to - understand the fundamentals of change; - become acquainted with the author, architect, designer, and engineer of life; - prepare for life’s contradictions; - plant seeds for the next season of life; and - learn from failures. Understanding the Seasons of Life offers guidance for anyone seeking a new and creative way to overcome obstacles and ultimately build a meaningful life.

Reflect Yourself: Exploring, Assessing, Understanding, and Improving Your Life by Michael P. McNally Pdf

Self-help gurus often claim to have discovered the formula for a successful life. Just follow steps A, B, and C, they assure you, and happiness will be yours. The problem is, success and happiness mean different things to different people, and following someone else's path won't necessarily get you where you want to be. Reflect Yourself: Exploring, Assessing, Understanding, and Improving Your Life takes a different approach. Rather than providing a road map to a predetermined destination, Michael P. McNally gives you the tools you need to chart the terrain of your own psyche. Once you understand who you are, it becomes possible to look beyond your day-to-day routine -- and identify what you need to do to give your life meaning.

Understanding and Working with Life's Mysteries by Per Madsen Pdf

UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES is an expansion of the philosophical concepts discussed in Per Madsen's previous book, The Metamorphosis of Charles Mott. In the latter, our experience of reality was described as depending upon our personal perception of the "way things are." It was explained that we are the creators of our own reality and that we can choose the experience we want, if we know how. UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES is also an instructive manual on how to create the reality the reader desires. Is this book for you? Ask yourself the following questions: Are you achieving what you want in life? Are you prone to illness and wonder why? Are you worried by the state of the world and what is going to happen to you? Do you feel that you've got the cards stacked against you and that you can't win? Do you wonder why some people are rich and some poor? Do you wonder why some are born with a fatal illness while some are as healthy and strong as a horse? If you answer no to the first question and yes to the others, UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES may just provide some of the answers you are looking for. Per A. Madsen Now a retired business executive residing in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Per Madsen spent most of his productive years in Europe in charge of automotive sales and service for a large automobile manufacturer. Keenly interested in philosophy, he devoted much of his spare time to the study of various books on the subject. As a life member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. he was introduced to the Edgar Cayce readings and became a volunteer for the Association engaged in the research and writing of medical Research Bulletins. Believing that consciousness, and particularly human consciousness, is in continuous evolution towards higher levels, he attempts to influence the direction of his own evolution by constantly exposing his mind to new input of philosophical and metaphysical nature.

Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature by Farah Jasmine Griffin Pdf

A PBS NewsHour Best Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year in Nonfiction A brilliant scholar imparts the lessons bequeathed by the Black community and its remarkable artists and thinkers. Farah Jasmine Griffin has taken to her heart the phrase "read until you understand," a line her father, who died when she was nine, wrote in a note to her. She has made it central to this book about love of the majestic power of words and love of the magnificence of Black life. Griffin has spent years rooted in the culture of Black genius and the legacy of books that her father left her. A beloved professor, she has devoted herself to passing these works and their wisdom on to generations of students. Here, she shares a lifetime of discoveries: the ideas that inspired the stunning oratory of Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X, the soulful music of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, the daring literature of Phillis Wheatley and Toni Morrison, the inventive artistry of Romare Bearden, and many more. Exploring these works through such themes as justice, rage, self-determination, beauty, joy, and mercy allows her to move from her aunt’s love of yellow roses to Gil Scott-Heron’s "Winter in America." Griffin entwines memoir, history, and art while she keeps her finger on the pulse of the present, asking us to grapple with the continuing struggle for Black freedom and the ongoing project that is American democracy. She challenges us to reckon with our commitment to all the nation’s inhabitants and our responsibilities to all humanity.
