  Do Christians choose to have faith, or is faith a supernatural work of God? Far from an abstract intellectual exercise, this question has vast implications for the hope, joy, and assurance of the Christian life. When the truth of God’s sovereign grace breaks into our minds and hearts, it changes everything.  In What’s So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? Dr. Richard D. Phillips takes us on a tour of the doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. With clear biblical exposition, he helps us to see the extent of our corruption in sin, to anchor our faith in the fullness of grace, and to trust in God’s promise to finish what He started—the salvation of His people. When we rely on God’s all-sufficient grace, we can truly live for His all-consuming glory.

  Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

  What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
   
  Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
   
  Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
   
  Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
   
  Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
   
  Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

  The Lankāvatāra Sūtra

  The Lankavatara Sutra, dating from the early years of the Common Era, sometime before 443, is one of the most important Mahayana Buddhist texts, not least because of its influence on later Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese Buddhism.  One of its possible early translators in the 8th century was Gunabhadra who is sometimes regarded as the first father of Zen in China.   
  The Sutra takes the form of a dialogue between the Buddha in his cosmic form (as opposed to the historical figure of the Pali Canon) and the Bodhisattva or ‘Great Being’, Mahamati.  The Bodhisattva, as represented by Mahamati, is the enlightened presence in the world, foregoing the bliss of Nirvana and enlightenment for the sake of oneself alone, in order to lead all beings to that state of liberation, of complete non-attachment, as taught by the Buddha.   
  The Sutra is especially concerned with the teaching of ‘Emptiness’, or ‘Sunyata’ in the Sanskrit, the letting go of all concepts and constructs, through which we ‘label’ the world around us, thus perpetuating that duality of self and other, which, according to the Buddha’s teaching, lies at the root of the world’s suffering.  This is what is meant in the Sutra by the ‘discriminating consciousness’, through which we make logical sense of the world on a relative basis and which is distinguished from Transcendental Knowledge which allows us to enter into absolute reality. Much of the Sutra is concerned with the way this is brought about through the workings of our inner consciousness. 
  The Buddha, prompted by Mahamati’s questions, reiterates again and again that this world of ‘particulars’ as perceived by the non-enlightened, is devoid of an ego-substance and is illusory, like ‘Maya’ or a visionary flower in the air.  It is because of our persistent need to hold onto some sense of a fixed self or ‘soul’ that we perpetuate the rounds of rebirth in this samsaric world, or world of suffering. 
  This recording includes the ‘Sagathakam’ (or “one with verses”), a later addition to the Sutra which contains many references to the Sutra itself and may well have been intended as an ‘aide-memoire’ for those trying to learn sections of the Sutra.

  The title, Mosaics of the First Christmas, is represented by the colorful mosaic letters on the cover of the book. The mosaic letters represent the multihued stories contained within this book. Just as the bright mosaic pieces come together to create a letter, the nine vibrant stories come together as vivid pieces of the First Christmas. As you read the lively stories, you will be carried back to the first Christmas and immersed in a new and enriched perspective of characters and events that we have both researched and imagined. We believe they are possible happenings because of the human spirit that desires to help family, friends or even strangers. Since the Biblical descriptions that surround this beautiful season are so brief, yet evocative, they have prompted our joyful dreams of what MAY have been! We know your imagination will flourish. Meet the playful, loving children of Bethlehem; or a young girl whose dream is to become a shepherdess following in the footsteps of her father; or the Roman Centurion whose life is dramatically altered by the birth of a child. Enjoy meeting all these wonderful characters and their stories as they become part of the wonderful story of the first Christmas!
