Light of the Mind, Light of the World
Author: Spencer Klavan
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510783261
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The world is not a machine. Humanity is not a mistake. For centuries, a grim anti-human outlook has taken hold of the public imagination, teaching us all to view ourselves as random products of a cruel and uncaring natural world. Today, from apocalyptic environmentalism to twisted eugenics and dystopian bionic augmentation, movements are rising around the world to dispense with humanity or subordinate it to a pitiless mechanical logic. For many, it has come to seem as if the human spirit is obsolete, religious faith is illusory, and mankind is destined to be extinguished or surpassed. Some might even see the end of humanity as a good thing. But that is not our future. Light of the Mind, Light of the World tells a daring new story about how we got here, and how we can chart a better path forward. Surveying the history of science and faith from the astronomers of Babylon to the quantum physicists of postwar Europe and America, classicist and scholar Spencer A. Klavan argues that science itself is leading us not away from God but back to him, and to the ancient faith that places the human soul at the center of the universe. Reconciling the discoveries of science with the truths of the Bible, Klavan shows how the search for knowledge of the natural world can help illuminate the glories of its Creator, and how the latest developments in physics can help shatter the illusion of materialism.

Mindfulness in a Busy World
Author: Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538135140
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
How can we increase the likelihood that people will be able to control their wandering mind, let go of upsetting thoughts and feelings, and apply the wisdom of mindfulness training to their day-to-day lives? Mindfulness in a Busy World offers a bridge between the ancient wisdom of Eastern mindfulness teachings and the busy Western lifestyle of the tech era where an increasing number of people experience stress, anxiety, impatience, and an inability to be present in meaningful interactions. While traditional practices offer incredible possibilities of well-being and development, many people struggle to access these states of mind and ripen the skills to sustain them. This book offers insights into ways of mobilizing the brain’s attention systems so that distracted minds—often habituated to the constant overstimulation of screens and media—can more readily cultivate focus, calm, and kindness. Our society invests years in instructing people how to read, write, count, and think critically, but often forgets to support the crucial foundation of these abilities: focusing the mind. Learning to tame the mind allows people of all ages to live a more fulfilling life, balancing being and doing, thinking and feeling, listening and talking, compassion for self and others, and being an individual while belonging to a community. Distinctive features of this book: Brain-based strategies that render a focused mind within reach of everyday people Unique set of 18 breathing methods and over 27 other types of exercises which can quickly reset an agitated body or distracted mind Activities that make visible the remarkable powers of the mind to create and dissipate experiences of emotional or physical discomfort Specific strategies to facilitate inner peace and emotional regulation Simple but fascinating challenges—only achievable through mindfulness—that will leave people in awe of what their minds can do Intriguing collection of pain tolerance tests making it exciting to engage in the practices Mindfulness exercises that move beyond individual well-being and extend to a felt sense of belonging to a diverse community Inventive ways of bringing forth kindness, compassion, and gratitude Engaging metaphors and fascinating facts that ignite people’s curiosity about little known aspects of their physiology and help them connect to their bodies Words of wisdom, meaningful stories, inspiring quotes, and thought-provoking questions that help participants apply mindfulness practices to real life situations

The Art of War and Other Stories

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Escape to far-off planets with ten science fiction stories from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Star Wars Thrawn trilogy. Contains two original stories: “The Needs of the Many” and “Challenge Accepted” Hugo Award–winning author Timothy Zahn presents an original collection of science fiction adventure stories. Some of the works here were previously printed in publications such as The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Analog,or in themed collections, but have never appeared together until now . . . The Shadow Stories In “The Shadows of Evening,” a seasoned warrior named Turek has dedicated his life to defending colonists from mysterious and debilitating Shadows on a hostile planet. Zahn elaborates Turek’s story with two sequels, and now concludes the saga with the original story, “The Needs of the Many.” The Hive Mind Stories Two Hive Mind starcraft observe Earth from afar and from a superior viewpoint in “The Challenge.” They believe that self-destructive competition among humans will prevent this so-called fragmented race from achieving the technological level required to reach the stars. In two sequels, Zahn explores what would happen if humans found a different way to the heavens. Now, with the original story “Challenge Accepted,” he brings the series to a climactic end. Two more stories round out the collection. In “Star Song,” humans find a unique way to fuel interstellar travel with music, while a diplomatic aide gets caught up in a plot of greed and destruction in “The Art of War.” Together, these ten tales promise action, adventure, humor, and more, all from the masterful mind of one science fiction’s greatest authors.

Shadows of Atlantis

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Brigitte is an emissary of nature chosen to renew the treaty between Atlantis and the ancient bloodline of Lemuria. Her sacred betrothal would renew the elemental function of the Crystal Grid that powers the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. But her people are attacked by a storm of shadows, and now she is running for her life. Upon her arrival in the ruling city, she meets D’Vinid, a dejected musician who lives the quintessential Atlantean lifestyle of revelry, escapism and apathy. Under the eclipse of a holy festival, they are swept into an attraction they cannot resist. Their union may protect humanity from its worst enemy - the shadows of Atlantis. But there is one problem, this man is not her betrothed. Brigitte discovers the Grid is corrupted by psychic parasites that feed off human suffering, an epidemic called “the madness”. The rituals required to charge the Grid with psychic emanations have been poorly attended, and this has caused the Grid to malfunction. But as nature always strives toward balance, the crystals have activated a genetic upgrade among the people. The youth have begun to express supernatural powers. Could it be that D’Vinid and Brigitte are meant to be leaders among the awakened? And if so, why does it seem impossible for them to be together? A mysterious tale of romance, seduction and betrayal that reaches just enough into the modern mind to ask - will we learn the lessons of Atlantis?
