Book Description
The seventh book of the series explores Biblical truths about our nature and how we can correct our behavior if we want to experience the best God has for us. This book explains how we can get closer to God's agape-love and Zoe-live in the spirit. We have to walk in His light. But the only way to do that is to walk in His words. Not only to get the truth which changes the mind but to walk with Him. He is His words. There's a spiritual connection with words. It's the same with us. That is why some people tear you down and some lift you up. There's a movement of spirits. That is why we always have to be careful who we associate with. When you spend time in the word you are spending time with God. And this is God the All Mighty and God the healer. We are cheating ourselves with our thinking, limiting ourselves with our presumptions and our traditions. There may be no limits on what we can do though the love of Jesus. Now it is time for you to start walking to your future knowing that Jesus is the finisher of our faith. So, follow Him and keep His words inside of you. And don't be fearful but be full of faith. And stand up for what you believe in. Defend the truths and don't let deceptions exists. Anytime people say, “It's always been like that”, or “That's the nature of things” put your guard up. Remember Jesus paid the price in blood to reconcile you to the Father. There are two kingdoms, the kingdom of the quiet and the kingdom of the noisy. One that builds honoring God, doing works with God, at the center. And the other one that builds honoring self and center their work around themselves. They fight with themselves, taking each other's gain, trying to promote themselves. They sometimes get followers whom they promise great reward by the joining of strengths. But all they are really doing is promoting the devil. He is the king of self. The devil and demons have already been judged. Every person will stand before the Great White Throne after death for judgment. But if He sees a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully, quietly, then God is truly moved. That is what God is looking for, faithfulness, patience, long suffering, committed to God. There are two kingdoms in play here and you have to make your choice. The kingdom that Adam gave to the devil is the flesh where the devil can spread his words of stealing, destruction and killing. The Kingdom of Heaven that God set up is based upon sharing, creation and life. And the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. When we follow the spirit, we will suffer. Yet the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Pages : 88
Book Description
The last book of the series is all about Jesus's promises. It explores His words and what He expects from us. There is an end of the age coming. The bible talks about the sun being darkened, the moon not giving any light, the stars falling from the heaven. The powers of the heavens being shaken can only mean one thing, the earth is hit by a meteorite or comet, and it is shifted; the north pole and the south pole will be over different continents. It is the center of the earth that is rotating, the outer land masses and oceans are being dragged along for the ride as well as the atmosphere. If the earth is hit at the right angle, then the outer plate will move in another direction until it stabilizes again with the inner core. However, the ocean tsunamis, the super hurricane winds, and the violent land movement will destroy a lot of the life on the planet. The resulting dust in the atmosphere will lower the temperature for years if not decades. It won’t destroy everything since it has happened before, over a dozen times as measured by the different magnetic fields detected in the seabed. This is described in detail in Revelation chapters 8, 9, 10, and 11. Do you really want to face God's wrath? Is your rebellion worth the cost that you will pay in the near future? The earth is changing rapidly, and this is the only planet that we have, this is our home. And God says that He will destroy them which destroy the earth. This is an invite to learn about Jesus through His words. Jesus taught using parable some of which He explained to his disciples. This was not an attempt to keep truth to a select few. The only really way to gain understanding is through the parable. You have to walk with Jesus through the story and ask Him questions about it. To be told the facts like He had to do with His disciples is to lose the point of it altogether. You only have the truth in your mind. It's the same here. You have to take the thoughts above and go back to your bibles. Read up on hope, faith and love and see if this measures up. Start with Romans 14:17-19 and study peace, joy, and righteousness. God has made a beautiful world and it's time for us to do our part. I provided various scriptures to start with

LBO 3 – Theory of Ubiquity
Author: David Butterworth
Publisher: Self Published
ISBN: 1312055170
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
The third book of the series provides a benchmark of this theory against Newton's, Einstein's Schrödinger's, Dirac's, and Maxwell's laws, theories, and equations. Then it describes how awareness and order exists in the universe. It makes the case for Distributed Intelligence and consciousness. This book talks about life and how it exists in the universe. This analysis is based upon the Theory of Amorphism which is explained in the second book of this series. The theory basically states that everything in the universe is based upon singularity spaces or in a layman's term, black holes. What is the case for intelligence? It's in the singularity space. It's distributed across space and time just like matter. It’s more than just Entropy in Thermodynamics. Life comes from within, everything is alive. So come investigate this book and see a whole new view of the universe. Existence connects all things; a relatively simple concept but one that is not center of current scientific thinking. Everything is interconnected. Everything exists and has value, and you are a part of it. This is my attempt to bring this concept back to the center of the scientific community and in doing so to rethink all of our theories and concepts on how we view the universe, our world, and ourselves. And I will keep this book religion free because this series is about discovery, and I do not wish to step on anyone's dogma.

LBO 2 - Theory of Amorphism

Publisher: Self Published
ISBN: 1312055421
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
This is the end result of a 50-year quest in trying to understand the universe. Not only the physics of how things work but also the why, what's behind all of this? Now I finally found the truth; ancient wisdom and modern discoveries have joined into a lucid explanation that even a child could understand. This was more than the combination of the four known forces into a grand Unified Field Theory. It was trying to gain a deep understanding of the nature of space and matter. Why some particles have a charge while others did not. Why does gravity only attract. And what is anti-matter and dark matter? Now physics has mathematics of a greater degree than any other occupation on Earth and this math is important. It is needed to make the physics useful. But physics also has a sense of wonder. And it is this wonder, the ability to open our minds to new ideas that has captured my interest. I wanted to see the new horizons. I want to know why things were the way they were. And I wanted to know what was true and what was not true. But I also found out that sometimes the thing that you were most sure of, turns out to be false and you are forced into a reevaluation. And once you gained a new insight there is no going back. Things will never be the same again. This book is simply a submission of a protoscience recommendation (the initial phase of the scientific method, involving hypothesis formulation, but not yet proven to be true or false). It has two parts; a philosophical Burden of Proof that explains the purpose of the singularity approach, the Theory of Amorphism that explains matter and light. This theory is bench-marked against Newton's, Einstein's, Schrodinger's, Dirac's, and Maxwell's laws, theories and equations. Particle models are generated where the composite particles consist of matter and anti-matter particles. In these models the summation of masses must add up to zero, since the basic elementary particles are much heavier than any known particles. The relativistic movement of the masses provides the delta changes that give the particles their mass. Likewise, the internal forces are added together with the residual forces accounting for the charge of the particles. This is an alternate approach to the current particle Standard Model. This theory uses singularity spaces (two dimensional 1/R flat spaces which are larger on the inside) to explain Gravity, Electromagnetic and Nuclear Forces.

ISBN: 1312039949
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
The fifth book of the series describes the nature of human beings and how we are influenced by the things that grow in the garden of our heart. Then the book describes the existence of God and how God can help us through His kingdom. This is the question that is the basis of this book. What am I? And to answer this question I have to go back through all the other books in this series. Because it is obvious, I must be a singularity. But the truth is I'm not the center of a singularity because the singularity is unknowable. Everything I know of my body, my thoughts, my feelings are on the outside of the singularity at its outer boundary. This is where I exist. I will never be the singularity, but my source is the singularity. Even if I disappear my source will remain forever. Time only exists on the outside. So, what am I? I am on the outside where time and space, color and music, personality exist. We have three parts; the body, the Bios life as a biological organism, which will die that exists in the physical universe. The mind, the Psyche or individual consciousness, that can die or can live forever if it is worthwhile. And the spirit, Zoe interconnected life eternal, that will live forever since it is like energy in the physical universe and order in the mental universe and comes from within. But how about the humane part? That seems to be the part where we fail. This is why we try to be civil in a civilization. And this is the whole reason for our existence, building a civilization. Now there is a question about our own personal attitudes. Do we only care about ourselves, or do we care about others as well? And if we think about how we are made and if we have the same singularity center then the real question boils down to this; do we care more about the outside or the inside? Now with us we have a heart, it's the center of our being. And our heart is a large place but as we back away it becomes smaller and smaller. That usually happens with traumas that we want to forget. They can get locked away in a shrinking heart. Now the heart drives our thoughts and our words. Whatever we have planted in the garden of our heart will grow. Some of the plantings have been from other people, friends, teachers, media. Some of the planting we have done ourselves. You can weed your garden removing those influences from your life. Now in the middle of the garden is an altar. Some people keep this altar clean and shiny with no weeds around it. It is the prize of the garden. Other people pretend like it doesn't exist. Those who feared God and lived their lives according to His word, life doesn't end with death. If they kept the altar up, they could step through the altar into a new life.

Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
The fourth book of the series reveals hidden truths and exposes existing lies about our civilization. It is the goal of this book to give an alternative to hopelessness and bring purpose back into our lives. It is the goal of this book to give you an alternative to hopelessness, to bring clarity in place of confusion, to bring purpose back into your life. And it will do this by providing real knowledge to change your life, issuing in a new age that will be based upon truth. And this new age will be totally different than any age we have ever seen before. A new beginning is tied to a fresh concept. That is the entire purpose of this book, to introduce you to the heart of the universe. And although this is a simple concept, it’s completely different than any concept that you’ve had before concerning the reality within. The universe has a heart just like you, and when two hearts touch everything changes. Real existence comes from the heart. Imaginary existence comes from the head. One is life and the other is a simulation of life. And you need both of them to harness faith, hope and love as well as fear, despair and hate. So, the question is concerning our goal; are we headed toward life or are we headed toward death? And the answer to this question determines the type of future that we will have; the future our children will have to face. You have to change your heart and change your thinking, if you want to change your future, and this can only happen if you are changed by God. You have to be reborn on the inside. No one on the outside can help you with this; it’s between you and God. And knowledge can help you with this process. And if you have faith, I am asking you to stretch it by reading this book. And note this: keep your religion, however you understand it to be. Instead of each of us trying to change each other’s religion, we have to be still and find God within ourselves. It is my intent that we move into a new renaissance age where we can contribute to the arts, to the sciences, to the technology to the maximum of our gifting and desire. And in this section of my philosophy, I want to propose a new society where we are allowed to grow where our dreams take us and be rewarded for our contributions.

Junk Bonds

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The junk bond, the fastest growing financial instrument of the 1980s, as been linked to all that is wrong with Wall Street. But in Junk Bonds, economist Glenn Yago argues that, despite the bad press, these high yield securities are still one of the most efficient and equitable ways for American companies to finance their futures. Yago points out that, before junk bonds, conservative investors like insurance companies, pension funds, and bank trust departments placed their capital primarily in investment-grade securities--and only five percent of the American companies with sales over $35 million qualify to issue investment grade bonds. In effect, ninety-five percent of the nation's mid-sized firms were frozen out of the public debt market. Junk bonds changed all that. In addition, Yago argues that the much-maligned divestitures associated with junk bond-funded buyouts were not necessarily destructive; many sold-off units, he writes, flourished under new management structures. Yago concludes that we have witnessed a fundamental restructuring of corporate America, made possible in part by high yield financing. The result is a bright future as American businesses return to productivity and competitiveness, one that will benefit managers, stockholders, and workers alike.
