Between Eden and Armageddon
Author: Marc Gopin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195348079
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Recent years have seen a meteoric rise in the power and importance of organized religion in many parts of the world. At the same time, there has been a significant increase in violence perpetrated in the name of religion. While much has been written on the relationship between violence and religious militancy, history shows that religious people have also played a critical role in peacemaking within numerous cultures. In the new century, will religion bring upon further catastrophes? Or will it provide human civilization with methods of care, healing, and the creation of peaceful and just societies? In this groundbreaking book, Marc Gopin integrates the study of religion with the study of conflict resolution. He argues that religion can play a critical role in constructing a global community of shared moral commitments and vision--a community that can limit conflict to its nonviolent, constructive variety. If we examine religious myths and moral traditions, Gopin argues, we can understand why and when religious people come to violence, and why and when they become staunch peacemakers. He shows that it is the conservative expression of most religious traditions that presents the largest challenge in terms of peace and conflict. Gopin considers ways to construct traditional paradigms that are committed to peacemaking on a deep level and offers such a paradigm for the case of Judaism. Throughout, Gopin emphasizes that developing the potential of the world's religions for coping with conflict demands a conscious process on the part of peacemakers and theologians. His innovative and carefully argued study also offers a broad set of recommendations for policy planners both inside and outside of government.

Book Description
Sharon: So why are you telling us all this now, Ashtar? Ashtar: Because it's time, Sharon. Sharon Stewart, Channeler & Author: "I am absolutely stunned by what he's been telling me! That's the only comment I have. Absolutely blown away! If you can read this book without contemplating the entirety of existence, then you've read it too fast." THIS IS WHAT everybody's been waiting for! What's going on now and what's to come in the future for earth, as told by the man who is in charge of seeing it all gets accomplished, delivered by one of the few people who can channel a book from such a high energy being, Ascended Master Commander Ashtar Sheran. Ashtar explains what's to come for Eden (Earth) in the next 50 years and beyond. Expanding on Ivo of Vega's book, "What You Need to Know Now," Ashtar tells us in more detail of the return of the Light and specifically the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies to restore this world to life and the Light. There are some real surprises in here, things you could never have dreamed of! Ashtar Sheran: "Whatever confidential files are being released to the public now, do you believe that these are actually the true files on sensitive subjects like Area 51? If you do, then you have fallen for their ruse again. What they do, they do to control you and to mislead your minds into fulfilling their agenda. There is little truth upon your planet. Your Secret Space Program works in anticipation of future effect as well; they can see into the future, jump timelines and see the effects of their work in the future. Documents released to the public now only continue to back up the false narrative they created 70 years ago. You are naive if you believe otherwise. Besides that, extraterrestrials don't keep paper documents. Earthlings do." Ashtar's information about future technologies and our use of them to battle rising ocean levels will leave you relieved and feeling more comforted about the future of humanity. We will come to our own aid and we'll do a fantastic job of transforming our planet in the meantime! Written in easy to read English, lacking in technical jabber, anyone can read this book from start to finish and increase in awareness and frequency.

Rising Star
Author: Rhonda K. Garelick
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691223920
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Celebrity personalities, who reign over much of our cultural landscape, owe their fame not to specific deeds but to the ability to project a distinct personal image, to create an icon of the self. Rising Star is a fascinating look at the roots of this particular form of celebrity. Here Rhonda Garelick locates a prototype of the star personality in the dandies and aesthete literary figures of the nineteenth century, including Beau Brummell, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Oscar Wilde, and explores their peculiarly charged relationship with women and performance. When fin-de-siècle aesthetes turned their attention to the new, "feminized" spectacle of mass culture, Garelick argues, they found a disturbing female counterpart to their own highly staged personae. She examines the concept of the broadcasted self-image in literary works as well as in such unwritten cultural texts as the choreography and films of dancer Loie Fuller, the industrialized spectacles of European World Fairs, and the cultural performances taking place today in fields ranging from entertainment to the academy. Recent dandy-like figures such as the artist formerly known as Prince, Madonna, Jacques Derrida, and Jackie O. all share a legacy provided by the encounter between "high" and early mass culture. Garelick's analysis of this encounter covers a wide range of topics, from the gender complexity of the European male dandy and the mechanization of the female body to Orientalist performance, the origins of cinema, and the emergence of "crowd" theory and mass politics.

Eden Revisited
Author: Umberto Pasti
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847864804
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A lovingly photographed tour of internationally renowned writer Umberto Pasti's famous hillside garden in Morocco. Italian writer and horticulturist Umberto Pasti's passion for the wild flora of Tangier and its surrounding region led him to create his world-famous garden, Rohuna, where he has transplanted thousands of plants rescued from construction sites with the aid of men from the village. Planted between two small houses is the Garden of Consolation: a series of rooms and terraces with lush vegetation, some rendering homage to the paintings of Henri Rousseau, others inspired by invented characters. Surrounding the Garden of Consolation are the Wild Garden and a hillside devoted to the wild flowering bulbs of northern Morocco, where indigenous species of narcissus, iris, crocus, scilla, gladiolus, and others bloom. With its stunning vistas and verdant fields, Rohuna is a garden of incomparable beauty with the mission to preserve the botanical richness of the region. Captured here in detail by celebrated photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo, the poetic beauty of this special and unique place is lovingly rendered for all the world to see and share.
