The Mechanics of Faith by Paul Ramseyer Pdf

What did Napoleon Bonaparte, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie all have in common as the key to their success? They each had immense confidence in their goals. They left no room or quarter for failure. They had faith. Author Paul Ramseyer takes the works of Napoleon Hill, a leading expert on success, and shows readers how to apply the same principles to their faith in God. Paul discovered how to use this power to drive stage 4 cancer out of his body. He also shows the reader how the Bible commands that requests in prayer be made in faith. He goes on to explain how this required faith is the only method we have to reach our full potential. With examples drawn from the most successful men in history, Paul doesn't just tell you to have faith, but teaches how you, like they, can decide to claim it and then gives detailed instructions how you can put it to work on your behalf. Are people sick, stuck in poverty, or victims to repeating sins? He shows readers that they don't have to be. In faith, all things are possible. With the Mechanics of Faith, readers are able to see how faith works to produce in their lives the results that they have been promised. Paul Ramseyer lives in Bloomfield, Iowa. In 2006, Paul learned from the past masters of industry and technology and the Bible how to drive stage four cancer from his body and is called to teach people everywhere how they too can be overcomers and not mere victims of circumstance.

The Mechanics of Divine Foreknowledge and Providence by T. Ryan Byerly Pdf

How exactly could God achieve infallible foreknowledge of every future event, including the free actions of human persons? How could God exercise careful providence over these same events? Byerly offers a novel response to these important questions by contending that God exercises providence and achieves foreknowledge by ordering the times. The first part of the book defends the importance of the above questions. After characterizing the contemporary freedom-foreknowledge debate, Byerly argues that it has focused too narrowly on a certain argument for theological fatalism, which attempts to show that the existence of infallible divine foreknowledge poses a unique threat to the existence of creaturely libertarian freedom. Byerly contends, however, that bare existence of infallible divine foreknowledge cannot threaten freedom in this way; at most, the mechanics whereby this foreknowledge is achieved might so threaten human freedom. In the second part of the book, Byerly develops a model for understanding the mechanics whereby infallible foreknowledge is achieved that would not threaten creaturely libertarian freedom. According to the model, God infallibly foreknows every future event because God has placed the times that constitute the history of the world in primitive earlier-than relations to one another. After defending the consistency of this model of the mechanics of divine foreknowledge with creaturely libertarian freedom, the author applies it to divine providence more generally. A novel defense of concurrentism is the result.

The Mechanics of Belief by C. Alan Martin Pdf

Today many are breaking upon the meat of the word in revelation and in experience. You can tell who they are because they are learning to speak forth the word of Christ from out of their own spirit (which is "not I but Christ in me"). They have learned who they are in Christ and who Christ is in them. They are on frontiers of spirit and Spirit. They discern a difference between Spirit and spirit. They have discovered what great and glorious thing has been birthed within them. They are the spiritual explorers, the spiritual scientists, and the spiritual vanguard. They are the point of the sword and the tip of the arrow. Their attitude is that of children in a secret clubhouse. They dare to go places their parents have told them are too dangerous. They are overcome with curiosity. What is on the other side of that hill, in the attic, the cellar, and buried long and forgotten within that ancient mound? Many established in the old theology fear to tread in these places. They do not want to know. They already know (or think they know). They know all about that far and secret land. But we want to go forward. It is scary... but it is exciting. We are treading dangerous ground... but that is ok. I expect to get bruised, bumped, and even bit! But I am alive... and I will do exploits in the process. We pause... but He is looking back at us and saying: "are you coming or not?" Yes... we are a bit wild eyed ourselves. The Holy Spirit is not always the gentleman we assume Him to be. He has told me things that have scared me. Things I would not share with anyone (up to now) because they surely would say I was over the edge. I recall one day in the early 80s I was in a deep unto drowning study of Psalms and one of the Prophets. Suddenly I had an epiphany. I took a deep breath, pushed back from the table, and whispered "I do love this so much..." Then, in my mind, as clear as my mother's name, the Spirit said something into me that made me question my own sanity. He said: "I am going to change the world for you." He was not saying the world would be changed for believers or Bible students. He was speaking to me personally. That revelation to me was so real that it has stuck with me for over 20 years and continues to live and manifest in my life. He said He was going to change the world so that it suited me. The world would change to match my loves, my desires, my hopes, and my dreams. Something like that is beyond reason and comprehension. But the spirit does not care if things make sense or not. My mind never has been able to wrap itself around it. Yet things began to happen in the world around me and in my own life! I have found that in the last 20 years, the things that I enjoy in my life have developed and become established in modern culture and society. Things I love have become popular and common. A whole industry (and career) has emerged that did not exist before... one that suits me perfectly. It is as if a tailor has come and measured my heart, tailored and stitched together a world that fits me perfectly. The world around me has become a perfect reflection of my heart. The things of my spirit have externalized and become real. That sounds crazy... I know. But there it is. Grasp this if you dare dear saint: Jesus said that those who believe (and not doubt) they have what they say will have those very things they believe and say. Since we all have believed and said the things that we believe... then we can only conclude one of two things: Your life is a manifestation of the things that you have been believing and saying all your life, (the world you exist in today is the externalization of your personal, heart-spoken belief), or Your life is the encroachment of the world system into the vacuous, chaotic-void left by your own doubt and lack of creative belief.

The Stability of Belief by Hannes Leitgeb Pdf

In everyday life we either express our beliefs in all-or-nothing terms or we resort to numerical probabilities: I believe it's going to rain or my chance of winning is one in a million. 'The Stability of Belief' develops a theory of rational belief that allows us to reason with all-or-nothing belief and numerical belief simultaneously.

The Mechanics of Wonder by Gary Westfahl Pdf

This is a sustained argument about the idea of science fiction by a renowned critic. Overturning many received opinions, it is both controversial and stimulating Much of the controversy arises from Westfahl's resurrection of Hugo Gernsback - for decades a largely derided figure - as the true creator of science fiction. Following an initial demolition of earlier critics, Westfahl argues for Gernsback's importance. His argument is fully documented, showing a much greater familiarity with early American science fiction, particularly magazine fiction, than previous academic critics or historians. After his initial chapters on Gernsback, he examines the way in which the Gernsback tradition was adopted and modified by later magazine editors and early critics. This involves a re-evaluation of the importance of John W. Campbell to the history of science fiction as well as a very interesting critique of Robert Heinlein's Beyond the Horizon, one the seminal texts of American science fiction. In conclusion, Westfahl uses the theories of Gernsback and Campbell to develop a descriptive definition of science fiction and he explores the ramifications of that definition. The Mechanics of Wonder will arouse debate and force the questioning of presuppositions. No other book so closely examines the origins and development of the idea of science fiction, and it will stand among a small number of crucial texts with which every science fiction scholar or prospective science fiction scholar will have to read.

Understanding Beliefs by Nils J. Nilsson Pdf

What beliefs are, what they do for us, how we come to hold them, and how to evaluate them. Our beliefs constitute a large part of our knowledge of the world. We have beliefs about objects, about culture, about the past, and about the future. We have beliefs about other people, and we believe that they have beliefs as well. We use beliefs to predict, to explain, to create, to console, to entertain. Some of our beliefs we call theories, and we are extraordinarily creative at constructing them. Theories of quantum mechanics, evolution, and relativity are examples. But so are theories about astrology, alien abduction, guardian angels, and reincarnation. All are products (with varying degrees of credibility) of fertile minds trying to find explanations for observed phenomena. In this book, Nils Nilsson examines beliefs: what they do for us, how we come to hold them, and how to evaluate them. We should evaluate our beliefs carefully, Nilsson points out, because they influence so many of our actions and decisions. Some of our beliefs are more strongly held than others, but all should be considered tentative and changeable. Nilsson shows that beliefs can be quantified by probability, and he describes networks of beliefs in which the probabilities of some beliefs affect the probabilities of others. He argues that we can evaluate our beliefs by adapting some of the practices of the scientific method and by consulting expert opinion. And he warns us about “belief traps”—holding onto beliefs that wouldn't survive critical evaluation. The best way to escape belief traps, he writes, is to expose our beliefs to the reasoned criticism of others.

The Biology of Belief by Bruce H. Lipton Pdf

Author Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

God's Mechanics by Guy Consolmagno Pdf

With an “adroit and self-effacing style,” a Catholic brother, astronomer and physicist explains how scientists and engineers make sense of religion. In God's Mechanics, Brother Guy tells the stories of those who identify with the scientific mindset—so-called “techies”—while practicing religion. A self-decribed techie, astronomer, physicist and Director of the Vatican Observatory, Brother Guy shares some classic philosophical reflections, as well as his interviews with dozens of fellow techies, and his own personal take on his Catholic beliefs to provide, like a set of “worked out sample problems,” the hard data on the challenges and joys of embracing a life of faith as a techie. And he also gives a roadmap of the traps that can befall an unwary techie believer. With lively prose and wry humor, Brother Guy shows how he not only believes in God but gives religion an honored place alongside science in his life. This book offers an engaging look at how—and why—scientists and those with technological leanings can hold profound, “unprovable” religious beliefs while working in highly empirical fields. Through his own experience and interviews with other scientists and engineers who profess faith, Brother Guy explores how religious beliefs and practices make sense to those who are deeply rooted in the world of technology. “Brother Guy Consolmagno speaks in the softest, sanest voice imaginable as he enters the current firestorm of opinion re science and religion. His engaging commentary exposes the mindset of a true ‘techie’—but one who equates science with a sacred act.” —Dava Sobel, author, Galileo’s Daughter

The Mechanics of Passion by Alain Ehrenberg Pdf

Cognitive neuroscience, once a specialized area of psychology and biology, has enjoyed increased worldwide legitimacy in the last thirty years not only in psychiatry and mental health, but also in fields as diverse as education, economics, marketing, and law. How can this surge in popularity be explained? Has the new science of human behaviour now become the barometer of our conduct and our lives, taking the place previously occupied by psychoanalysis? Rather than asking if neuronal man will replace social man or how to surmount the opposition between the biological and the social, The Mechanics of Passions uncovers hidden relationships between global social ideals and specialized concepts of neuroscience and cognitive science. Proposing a historical sociology situated in the dual contexts of the history of sciences and the history of self-representation, Alain Ehrenberg describes the conditions through which cognitive neuroscience has developed and acquired a strong moral authority in our individualistic society permeated by ideas, values, and norms of autonomy. Cognitive neuroscience offers the promise of turning personal limitations into assets by exploring an individual's "hidden potential." The Mechanics of Passions identifies this as the echo of social ideals of autonomy, affirming that the moral authority of cognitive neuroscience stems as much from cultural norms as from any results of scientific or medical experimentation.
