Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Is wellness an elusive construct in this socially and materially polluted world True wellness implies more than just being disease-free; it implies dimensions of the social, occupational, spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional realms.Every parable, in its own way, reflects some measure of wellness towards experiencing abundant life on earth and in the hereafter. Author Trevor Moorley presents this collection of poems to whet the wellness appetite, along with insightful prose readings that will provide endurance on your wellness journey.Authorities on wellness consider it an active process through which we can become aware of and engage in choices that will accentuate a more successful existence. Wellness in the Parables through Meditative Poems and Prose provides the motivation for this development. From cover to cover, it offers a veritable dialog that will ignite a renewed appreciation for the reason for living. The stimulating, thought-provoking, and sometimes revolutionary approaches unearthed in the parables only serve to inspire us to embrace life with a passion not to glorify self, but to serve others wholeheartedly for the glory of God. The teachings of Christ in the parables are as relevant to twenty-first century folk as they were to the people who heard them in person. Explore the deep revelations contained within them.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the most disturbing ideas known to our human imaginations is that of the Final Judgment, the accounting we are called to give at the end of our lives. Born in the depths of our consciousness, this notion of a final judgment is a consequence of our perception that we have priorities and goals in our lives. It is a measurement of just how successful or unsuccessful we have been in the venture of life. This book suggests a possible set of ethics for the individual vis-à-vis his or her own self-ethics that reflect the obligations life imposes on the living. Written in the form of a Criminal Code, this book both in structure and terminology mimic legal documents. The prime goal is to call attention to the deep psychic fusion between what we believe to be divine expectations-that is, those of the Creator-and the expectations of our consciousness. The key postulate of the Biblical text is really this: that Creator and creature communicate with each other through consciousness. More than that perhaps: that Creator and creature blend and merge within consciousness. This Constitution and Criminal Code will thus have to account for projections of both God's desires and the desires of our consciousness. They are structured in the principles laid out in the Ten Commandments and in the punishments of the Ten Plagues, both found in the book of Exodus. The Creator's expectations and punishments correspond to similar expectations and punishments within our consciousness. Employing collective and personal symbolism and the reading of Carl Jung of the Commandments, the book steer away from the morality usually applied when judging, instead allowing the soul's yearnings and aspirations to guide this evaluation of the quality and propriety of life.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Machine politics is a tough business, filled with people who put far more value on power and money than on honor, friendship, or the lives of those who challenge them. Atop this maelstrom sits Chairman Eamon DeValera Collins, formerly the undisputed boss of the Irish-Catholic Fifteenth Ward and now the man who controls the entire city. In this position, he finds himself surrounded by opportunists, amateurs, criminals, thieves, and cold-blooded killers. Those he can trust are few and far between, and they are far outnumbered those who would attempt to use their connection to him to eliminate their enemies and line their own pockets. While only one former ally is sufficiently tough-or crazy-enough to directly challenge his leadership, the Chairman will stop at nothing to put down any challenger. In The Chairman's Challenge, the sequel to The Chairman, A Novel of Big City Politics, award-winning writer Mark M. Quinn takes the reader on a sometimes dark, but always thought-provoking, tour of the ins and outs of a political machine.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Why is there something rather than nothing A fundamental question which goes to the very heart of creation and existence. Yet there are only two realistic options: 'Intelligent Design', or 'Accident of Chance' - a choice between 'God' and 'Science'. Religion, however, lacks objective evidential support, and requires no justification beyond unconditional belief, while science addresses only material creation, but ignores essential 'intangibles' - mathematics, logic and rationality - without which the universe would not be able to function. These are the Enigmas of creation, and this book addresses all aspects as equally important, including theories of creation, the purpose and nature of the universe, implications of time, concepts of reality and existence, life (biological, artificial and destiny), laws of nature, metaphysical concepts of 'pre-creation', the nature of 'higher intelligence', and the validity and limitations of 'human' Probability. Proposals put forward include, that 'the future' does not exist - only indefinite perpetuation of increments of 'present'; laws of nature being stored by digital encoding onto quantum fluctuations of vacuum energy; and that quantum gravity does not exist. The book collates and evaluates these topics, to compare and prioritize the relative significance of 'real' and 'speculative' arguments, and reaches a 'balance of evidence' conclusion as to why the universe exists - Accident or Design. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of one boy's journey from an ordinary childhood in a European middle-class family into an alien world of terror and persecution where fear and violence reigned. Millions had to perish before Germany was defeated and the Continent could return to sanity. The Nazis' rise to power had transformed occupied Europe into a hostile environment where life for Jews had become a living hell. Suddenly, old relationships had been swept aside as neighbours and friends had suddenly become enemies and would-be persecutors. Survival now depended on learning new skills and sharpening newly acquired instincts. The margin between freedom and incarceration was often minute. Under such a brutally repressive regime life became dependent on quick thinking and adjustment to every new situation. Living on the razor's edge those instincts soon become second nature, and with it new, hitherto unsuspected abilities to cope. With familiarity and increasing self-confidence it was inevitable that some bravado could also creep in. How else could such escapades as earning money in the epicenter of the Nazi war machine - a German Army HQ in occupied Budapest be explained . Also described are the realities of life under continuous bombardment, from the air and by artillery, in a city laid waste and under siege where one was continually in danger, hungry and cold. To alleviate that hunger it became necessary to find food from unusual sources such as cutting flesh from army horses killed in the shelling and drinking melted snow. Everything had its uses and was recycled: even shoe polish could be used as a substitute for candles for lighting up a dark cellar in a ruined city where electricity, gas and water supplies as well as all the amenities of modern life were but a distant memory. The siege of Budapest ended with liberation by the Red Army and the realization of the terrible cost in human terms - especially that of Jews - of the Nazi regime. Starting a new life in England and a return to normalcy, concentrating on integration and education; preparing for a worthwhile career in a free and happy environment bring the story full circle. It shows that trauma need not necessarily be injurious but can also have a positive effect that leads to a greater appreciation of life and acts as a stimulant for achievement. Service in the British army, immigration to Israel and serving in the Israeli army as well as creating a family and a career conclude the narrative. Originally this memoir was intended for my children, but as it took shape I felt it could be of interest to the general reader who may wish to look at this cataclysmic era as seen through the eyes of a child.…
