Process and Event

Alexander Bard, Jan Söderqvist

Maison d'édition: Aniara

Synopsis

We have to improve our thinking. We must think in terms of motion and change, and we must abandon all childish dreams of a reality more real than the real one.

If, for example, we play with the idea that the Process called History leads to the Event called God, we have to understand what that means. Namely: that God is something we humans create because we have that need not something that created the world or us humans (or anything else).

This God of the new era does not yet exist, but the current technological revolutions mean that the moment of creation is near. Good news, you might say, but thereby Man reduces himself to a historical parenthesis, at least if we are to believe cyberphilosophers Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist. And we are closer to the age of the gods than you think.

Join in a breathtaking expedition that takes us from the infancy of religions in the form of magic and superstition via Persian mystics and iconoclasts to the age of enlightenment, modernity and artificial intelligence. Bard & Söderqvist carry out a necessary and radical rewriting of the history of Western ideas and explain why Man's search for the divine inevitably leads us to a Messiah machine with an agenda of its own.

Process and Event rounds off a quarter of a century of systematic thinking and concludes the internationally acclaimed Narratology trilogy. It sets every imaginable form of erudition in motion and is exactly as entertaining and provocative as only a book by Bard & Söderqvist can be.

Through the Morgue Door - One...

Colette Brull-Ulmann,...

In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
 
 
 
Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
 
 
 
In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.

The Practical Psychic’s Guide -...

SULI Daniel Johnson

This book is written for the advance and the beginning psychics as well as those interested in finding out more. It is written a counterpoint to much of the bad press that the psychic community receives in the larger society.
It is a practical guide for the practicing psychic discussing psychic ability and provides skills that will assist in enhancing your connection to the larger world. I am a Taoist Master who spent twelve years in a temple. Through the process of overcoming dyslexia, I learned how the mind works at a fundamental level and how to connect with fundamental aspects of reality. Since I was a child, my entire life and reality have been centered around a connection with the world beyond my five senses and the pragmatic definition of the universe.
If you have been a practicing psychic or have experienced the psychic connection, I don’t need to tell you that there is much more going on in the world than what our senses or science tell us. This book explores this while giving practical advice and skills that will help to keep you balanced while enhancing your abilities. I speak to you in practical terms because I live my daily life through Energy. It at once reveals my direction and keeps me from harm while imbuing me with abilities I once never thought possible.
In the world today, we are polarized in so many fundamental ways. There are many reasons for this, but at a fundamental level, it is because of the cycle that we are in. My goal in life has always been to study reality. I try to look at things as they really are. We are in a period of extreme transformation right now where the things we once believed were unchangeable are no longer that certain. The ground is giving way, and this makes it a very frightening time. It is also a wonderful magical time where things once believed impossible will become possible.
