Book Description
In Going Up and Going Down Yitzhak Peleg argues that the story of Jacob's dream (Genesis 28.10-22), functions as a mise en abyme ('as a figure, trope or structure that somehow reflects in compact form, in miniature, the larger structure in which it appears', Greenstein). Close examination reveals that focusing on the vision of Jacob's dream and understanding it as a symbolic dream facilitates an explanation of the dream and its meaning. Scholars have historically classified the dream as theophany, the purpose of which is to explain how Beth-El became a sacred place, and as such the vision in Jacob's dream is generally accepted as merely ornamental, or even lacking a message in itself. Whilst Peleg does not contradict or seek to go against identification of the dream as theophany, he sees a more nuanced purpose behind its presentation. Peleg's proposal is that the description of the vision, and especially that of the movement of the angels, is not embellishment, supplementation or scenic background, of God's message, but that it directly symbolizes the path taken by the Patriarchs to and from the Promised Land. Furthermore, the narrative context and visual description in the dream in which 'Angels of God were going up and down it' appears when Jacob is on his way to Harran, that is to say, when he is about to leave Israel.

The last thing that I remember is feeling dizzy. When I came to I was surrounded by family and friends and I was in a hospital bed.

Going Down Under
Author: Gregory Charles
Publisher: YEHKRI.COM A.C.C.
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Going Down Under is the transcript of a 10-Day Residential Sex & Relationship seminar that was delivered in Australia by Gregory Charles, The Aussie Relationship Guru. Is for anyone who is seeking deeper meaning and answers to a wide range of issues around the core topics of sex and relationships. So far it has been read by couples (who state it helped save their marriage), college students and other singles and couples from age 19 to 60 and has been greatly valued. The book is a necessary response to a dearth of meaningful information in a plethora of superficial, time-worn, moralistic answers to the issues of sex and relationships and their place in our lives. Especially in America, Gregory’s direct and honest Aussie approach has been welcomed as an antidote to the politically correct, judgmental puritanism that permeates this culture. Starting with the name, the content brings a wry sense of humor to matters that are usually treated as being heavy and serious.
