Technovedanta
Author: Antonin Tuynman
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326784773
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Will the internet one day awaken as a conscious entity? Or do we need to design a structured architecture in order to impart the quality of consciousness to the web? In the present book Technovedanta an architecture for the internet as AwwwareNet is proposed based on stratifications derived from the Indian philosophy of Vedanta to create a functional mimic of consciousness, quasi-consciousness. The deep exploration in Nature's fundamental primacy of consciousness led me to the hypothesis of a panpsychic theory of everything. Welcome to a journey into the unfathomable realm of fantasy, the chaotic soup from which successful strategies are searched, pruned and concretised to fulfil the cosmosemiotic imperative of ever increasing complexity and meta-variegation. Welcome to this book of books, a modern clavicula to engender the eschatological apotheosis of Vedantic Singularity. Welcome to the unusual marriage between Technology and Vedanta.

The Great Shift
Author: Michael Drake
Publisher: Talking Drum Publications
ISBN: 096290029X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The Great Shift is about the new era of humanity. We have entered the new epoch of humanity's spiritual evolutionary journey into higher consciousness. Our present world is one in which order is arising out of chaos. Everything is changing and seeking equilibrium. The conditions are nothing short of a rebirth. We are quite literally witnesses and participants in the shift from individual to planetary consciousness. We are part of the emerging consciousness, and the signs are everywhere. It is here now, and we all have a part to play in it. This book is a guide to navigating the shift from an old paradigm into a new one. It is deeply rooted in the shamanic and Taoist traditions, which are a fountain of wisdom and knowledge for restoring our relationship with the Earth. Shamanism and Taoism are a way of living in harmony with nature, rather than an adherence to a religious doctrine. By practicing these ways of being, we awaken our soul calling and our connection to nature. They provide a myriad of responses to the spiritual quest of self-discovery. They are ways that embed us in the living web of life, yielding greater awareness and perspective. These practices are easily integrated into contemporary life and provide a means of navigating the turbulent times in which we live.

Advances in Visual Information Systems
Author: Robert Laurini
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540400532
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
Presently, in our world, visual information dominates. The turn of the millenium marks the age of visual information systems. Enabled by picture sensors of all kinds turning digital, visual information will not only enhance the value of existing information, it will also open up a new horizon of previously untapped information sources. There is a huge demand for visual information access from the consumer. As well, the handling of visual information is boosted by the rapid increase of hardware and Internet capabilities. Advanced technology for visual information systems is more urgently needed than ever before: not only new computational methods to retrieve, index, compress and uncover pictorial information, but also new metaphors to organize user interfaces. Also, new ideas and algorithms are needed which allow access to very large databases of digital pictures and videos. Finally we should not forget new systems with visual interfaces integrating the above components into new types of image, video or multimedia databases and hyperdocuments. All of these technologies will enable the construction of systems that are radically different from conventional information systems. Many novel issues will need to be addressed: query formulation for pictorial information, consistency management thereof, indexing and assessing the quality of these systems. Historically, the expression Visual Information Systems can be understood either as a system for image information or as visual system for any kind information.

Book Description
Samuel R. Delany: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works is the first encyclopedic overview of Delany’s fiction, essays, public talks, and interactions with leading writers and icons, from W. H. Auden to Wonder Woman. No book offers such a comprehensive guide to the scope of Delany’s presence in American letters, literary, and popular culture.

This bookcontains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 200 cross-referenced entries addressing each of Delany’s major novels, short stories, nonfiction, and theoretical texts, and entries addressing the full scope of Delany’s writings and major events in his life. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Samuel R. Delany.
