Slaves of One Master
Author: Matthew S. Hopper
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300213921
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
In this wide-ranging history of the African diaspora and slavery in Arabia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Matthew S. Hopper examines the interconnected themes of enslavement, globalization, and empire and challenges previously held conventions regarding Middle Eastern slavery and British imperialism. Whereas conventional historiography regards the Indian Ocean slave trade as fundamentally different from its Atlantic counterpart, Hopper’s study argues that both systems were influenced by global economic forces. The author goes on to dispute the triumphalist antislavery narrative that attributes the end of the slave trade between East Africa and the Persian Gulf to the efforts of the British Royal Navy, arguing instead that Great Britain allowed the inhuman practice to continue because it was vital to the Gulf economy and therefore vital to British interests in the region. Hopper’s book links the personal stories of enslaved Africans to the impersonal global commodity chains their labor enabled, demonstrating how the growing demand for workers created by a global demand for Persian Gulf products compelled the enslavement of these people and their transportation to eastern Arabia. His provocative and deeply researched history fills a salient gap in the literature on the African diaspora.

One Disciple to Another
Author: Richard Epler
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490883150
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The book of Revelation says the bride of Christ made herself ready. After decades of study with a broad variety of churches, the author returned to the very words of the Master to investigate what he taught. Do we deceive ourselves when we believe we are in a relationship with Jesus by doing as others have told us? Do we need to first become disciples of Christ who abide in the words that the original disciples said lead to life eternal? What are the terms and meaning of love according to the Master Teacher? What is the message that he said must be believed to be his disciple? He called us to be disciples, not Christians. Seven premises are set forth from what God and Christ had to say about several key elements of the gospel to show that what many Christians believe may not be in accord with the words of God or Christ. Studies include information from the King James Version, Hebrew scriptures, Dead Sea Scrolls, Damascus Document, and the Aramaic English New Testament. Be prepared to set aside any beliefs that are not founded upon the very words of God and Christ. No one will ever need to repent of believing the words of God or the words of His only begotten Sonthe Desired One on whom God placed His Spirit to speak the very words of God directly to mankind. Discover what God said you were created to be and how you can get there, starting today! Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

Siddhanath Surya Yoga (Basic)
Author: Yogiraj Siddhanath
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781484007358
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
All along Yogiraj Siddhanath's yogic journey, as years passed by, he practiced and moved into techniques that were most natural to him. With the grace of Babaji he developed a dynamic process of healing oneself and others. He called it Otprot-Surya meaning, "osmotic solar healing" and evolved the system of Surya Yoga, the science of pranic-healing with solar power. Prana is described in the Indian yogic texts and treatises as "the breath of life" or "life force energy"; a subtle element or entity underlying the fabric of all of creation, animating sentient beings with consciousness and life. It is the vibratory power that sustains us throughout our cycles of reincarnation, imparting life to all the different bodies we incarnate in. It is our soul potential, expressed in the human being as one's individual vitality. Knowledge of this majestic undercurrent and the science of channeling its awesome power, for pranic-healing and advancement along the evolutionary path to enlightenment, is the most cherished undertaking, unlocking the inner mysteries of soul and Divinity. Prana is "life" and pranayama is the yogic extension or control of the living impulse animating every atom of our universe. Prana is conveyed to our planet from the light of the sun and congealed in material form. Thus, for our planetary system, the sun is the source of prana. Likewise, in the course of pranic-healing, prana may be most effectively availed of through the rays of our sun since the highest concentrations of prana are found in sunlight. Prana is the life of oxygen, however this life-force is something more subtle than oxygen. Just as photosynthesis occurs in plants, a bioluminescence occurs in our bodies through the focused absorption of sunlight whereby we inhale and ingest the salubrious rays of the sun through the medulla oblongata called "the Mouth of God," and the third eye of Shiva, thereby rejuvenating ourselves. Like a conductor of this spiritual and healing impulse, pranic-healing through solar power is the dynamic process of tuning one's body to absorb the life energy of the sun. By its very nature, this evolutionary science deals with nature itself, delving into the roots of who we are and what we are made of, beginning with the source of energy from which life as we know it evolved, the sun. The life of every living creature on our planet is ultimately dependent on the sun. It is the primary source of nourishment, responsible for life itself. Similarly, it is our lineage to the divine source of knowledge via the cosmic entity of prana. This is the universal life force that awakens us and evolves us to our divine indweller. The technique of pranic-healing connects the solar heart of the individual and the giver of this life-energy for our planet, the sun. This is the spiritual absorption of pranic healing-light through the act of submerging oneself in the cosmic current that sustains the whole of creation. The body becomes sponge-like, tuned to facilitate the absorption of prana, as the total organism inhales and imbibes the healing light of the sun through the skin, lungs, and vital centers (chakras) of the subtle body. From the astral body, the entire network of subtle nerves (nadis) and physical nerves are fed with the luminosity of pranic light.
