Cycles and Sunglasses
Author: Heinrich Kleinschmidt
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412046416
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
If you've ever wondered what life here on Earth is really about... If you feel the way you are handling life does not work any more... you have already completed the first step of the learning cycle presented in this book. Your meeting this book could be synchronous. This text is meant for mainly two groups of readers. The first group, complacently relaxing on a religious beach, possibly knows they have eternal life. The second group is playing in the esoteric waves or in mysticism. They may be out quite far where the waves are bigger. The book invites both groups to join hands on the spiritual shoreline with your feet firmly balanced on the land and in the sea. This writing does not try to teach you anything. It presents 7 paradigms, viewed as sets of coloured sunglasses. These are as old as humanity. The book reminds you to remember to go on your own journey - to learn your own paradigms. Ones that work for you as you seek your own personal truths, balanced on firm sand underneath your feet. Cycles and Sunglasses raise more questions than answers. It opens up possibilities you may not think about every day. Sometimes with tongue in cheek. The 7 paradigms start off with an assumption that we are spiritual beings. The book presents you with a learning paradigm. It plays around with some of our purposes for being here on Earth, both individually and universally, as One. It reflects on being in the now and on being puppets - puppets of a higher purpose. For more data on your own reflective observation, read the book.

A Theory of Nothing
Author: D. N. Warren-Smith MSc.
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480839205
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
From the day we are born, life is teaching us lessons. Whether it is how we navigate our physical environment or our socio-cultural surround, we are constantly trying to make sense of our reality by listening to these life lessons. Yet while many of life’s lessons reinforce our reality, every so often life’s lessons present us with a curious idea—that everything out there, our reality, may not be as “real” as it seems. A Theory of Nothing: How Is the Finite Reality Created from the Infinite? chronicles one man’s lifelong journey to develop life’s lessons into a concept of reality that challenges our preconceived notions of objectivity. Although we tend to think of the world around us and our reality as being a shared, objective world in which we live, author D. N. Warren-Smith furthers the philosophical argument that it is really our subjective perceptions that shape and even make the world around us. With compelling logical arguments and descriptions of personal experience, he shows that our most basic assumptions about the reality of our existence in fact keep the true nature of reality hidden from us. Once we realise that there is no way to conclusively prove that we actually exist in an objective reality, we must weigh up the implications of a non-objective, subjective reality and what it means for our lives. We have a choice for our belief in what exists. How will you choose?

A Cup of Buddha
Author: Thomas D. Craig
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1846943590
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
A Cup of Buddha: reflections on truth discusses how to take the journey toward inner peace, toward truth in entertaining, simple language beyond the abstract and mystical concepts typically found in eastern philosophy books. The book applies eastern philosophy to western living utilizing pop culture and music metaphors to explore dense topics in an easy to digest format. Individuals are restless, and unhappy. We search for the water to put out our fire of discontent filling this space with self help books, food, new cars, relationships, and more, all with short term satisfaction but our fire still burns. We look outward, we look to others, yet the fire rages. A Cup of Buddha: reflections on truth addresses this fire within each of us, exploring the actual journey toward truth, understanding that each moment in life is everything, and we alone ultimately make this choice toward happiness.

Snowdrop Waltz
Author: Dag Gustav
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512721115
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The novel Snowdrop Waltz is a warm defense of poor people in Stavanger in the 1870s. Ive wanted to describe life stories, struggling young people with an unbending will to live. Just as snowdrops break their way through the snow, says author Dag Gustav Gundersen. The latter half of the nineteenth century is also a particularly interesting period. The emergence of modern Norway began. And in Stavanger, everything peaked because the economy and living conditions fluctuated far more here than most other places. The herring disappeared, the tall-ship area ended, and the sardine-canning industry emerged. I describe ordinary people and am trying to portray society as it looked from belowfrom the point of so desperately poor people that we can hardly comprehend now 130 years after, says Storla. Simultaneously with the distress, Stavanger experienced a major revival, and new beliefs are challenging the old. This also plays a central role in Snowdrop Waltz. The famous author Alexander Kielland made a unilaterally negative description of the layman movement in his novels, a portrait that in many ways has been allowed to be unchallenged. However, there are a rich source material documenting the importance of the laymantemperanceand later labor movements; they can hardly be overstated when it comes to their importance to social development and democracy. At the chapel, Bethany arose the previously unthinkable communion between people of both sexes and different classes. Ordinary people spoke up in the meetings, and were able to advocate their views and proclaim their faith, says Storla.

Fichte: The System of Ethics
Author: Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139447130
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Fichte's System of Ethics, published in 1798, is at once the most accessible presentation of its author's comprehensive philosophical project, The Science of Knowledge or Wissenschaftslehre, and the most important work in moral philosophy written between Kant and Hegel. Fichte's ethics integrates the discussion of our moral duties into the systematic framework of a transcendental theory of the human subject. Its major philosophical themes include the practical nature of self-consciousness, the relation between reason and volition, the essential role of the drives in human willing, the possibility of changing the natural world, the reality of one's own body, the reality of other human beings, and the practical necessity of social relations between human beings. This volume offers a translation of the work together with an introduction that sets it in its philosophical and historical contexts.
