The Kuan Yin Oracle

The Voice of the Goddess of Compassion

Kuan Yin, the ancient Chinese goddess of Compassion, is the principal goddess in the Eastern firmament. Wherever there are Chinese or Japanese speaking people in the world - in homes, restaurants, workplaces, small urban temples and shrines - Kuan Yin's image can be found. The ritual of consulting her has brought solace, hope and insight to countless people and it continues to be an integral part of the lives of tens of millions of people throughout the East today. Stephen Karcher's interpretation of this ancient text presents 'The 100 Poems of the Goddess', as relevant today as they were 1000 years ago, in an extremely easy to use and amazingly insightful form. Simply ask the oracle a question. By opening your heart to the answer, you allow yourself to be 're-arranged' by the symbol or figure Kuan Yin gives you. Then turn to the relevant page for that symbol in the book, where you will find directions to help you focus your energy and choose the right path to find an answer.

Babylonian Oracle Questions

The tamitu texts are a corpus of Babylonian oracle questions addressed to two gods as a duo: Shamash the sun god and Adad the storm god. Answers to the queries came not from abstract principles embodied somewhere in the universe but were decisions reached by this divine duo based on their understanding of the case brought to them, and a tamitu is the formal judgment brought by them. Though all of the known copies are from the first millennium B.C., some questions clearly date to the second millennium. The topics vary from matters of state (Should the king undertake such-and-such a campaign?) to purely personal matters (Is my wife telling me the truth?). As with many oracles, the only answer given was yes or no. In this volume, W. G. Lambert has collected, edited, and translated (with notes) the known corpus of tamitu texts. Included are hand copies of most of the texts, a total of more than 50 plates.

Nature's Oracle

The Life and Work of W.D.Hamilton

W.D.Hamilton was responsible for one of the major revolutions in evolutionary thought since Darwin - that of the 'gene's eye view of life'. He was a scientific pioneer, a misunderstood genius: risk-taker, jungle explorer, and uncompromising truth-seeker. This illuminating and moving biography documents Hamilton's extraordinary life and science.

The Oracle of the "tiny finger snap of time"

A Study of Novels with a Specific Time Culture

Many poets, playwrights, and novelists have grappled with the concept of time. Even more scholars have analyzed how novelists have used time for structuring, organizing, plotting and philosophizing. This collection of essays about the use of time in the novel is unique not only because the writers cover a wide range of concepts of time, but also because they locate certain novels within a specific time culture. The chapters analyze novels (and one film) with definite time cultures, providing hints as to the future of the use of time in the novel. Emily Bald’s chapter begins the collection in the nineteenth century with Life in the Iron Mills showing both inner time – the perceptual time which fluctuates with the vicissitudes of affective experience – and external time, which has become known as clock time. This ties in well with Rachel Kaufmann’s chapter exploring felt time in contemporary women’s literature. Marco Caracciolo’s chapter adds “cosmic time” to Ricoeur’s monumental and mortal time with the case studies of Virginia Woolf’s The Waves, and Terrence Malick’s film The Tree of Life. Two chapters explore the effects of World War Two: AJ Burgin presents the disorienting technique of Martin Amis’ Time’s Arrow that shows time going backwards – even in dialogue. Raymond Burt presents two novels of Michael Köhlmeier, a contemporary Austrian writer, spanning the decades since the end of World War Two, with his chapter drawing the link between time and morality. The final chapter on Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler shows the multiplicity of time that the previous chapters have demonstrated so clearly. Terms such as affect, truth, haunting, memory, reality, identity, morality and mortality all resonate within these chapters as characters within the novels and their specific culture areas grapple with time, recall the past, and attempt to live in the present. Many of the writers in this collection point towards possible new methods of dealing with time; reading methods; engaging with the novel writers of the future in new and interesting relationships. Here, Time has not been wasted.

Imperfect Oracle

The Epistemic and Moral Authority of Science

Science and its offshoot, technology, enter into the very fabric of our society in so many ways that we cannot imagine life without them. We are surrounded by crises and debates over climate change, stem-cell research, AIDS, evolutionary theory and &“intelligent design,&” the use of DNA in solving crimes, and many other issues. Society is virtually forced to follow our natural tendency, which is to give great weight to the opinions of scientific experts. How is it that these experts have come to acquire such authority, and just how far does their authority reach? Does specialized knowledge entitle scientists to moral authority as well? How does scientific authority actually function in our society, and what are the countervailing social forces (including those deriving from law, politics, and religion) with which it has to contend? Theodore Brown seeks to answer such questions in this magisterial work of synthesis about the role of science in society. In Part I, he elucidates the concept of authority and its relation to autonomy, and then traces the historical growth of scientific authority and its place in contemporary American society. In Part II, he analyzes how scientific authority plays out in relation to other social domains, such as law, religion, government, and the public sphere.

Avatar Oracle Xeno Guide

What is a Social Paranormal Writer? By: TJTM aka Theresa and TJI have recently been asked how to become a paranormal writer. For many of us who have studied the occult and metaphysical, we simply chose a path with special interests. Some of us have actually had physical reality experiences in the human realty with our conscious physical beings being part of the experiments of extra terrestrials.I for one have been involved with both the Nordics and the Grays, as have many beings who I know who have pleasant experiences. We are the luminosity in the mind when one cannot see, hear, touch, taste, smell or feel with the inner knowing and the outer being. The emotions that are thought to be formed while on earth are nothing but weather barometers for the human mind. americannewsmagazine.comsocialparanormal.com
