Synopsis

"Sacred Flames" explores the profound role of fire in shaping human culture, religion, and mythology across the globe. Examining fire as more than just a tool, the book reveals its significance as a symbol of divinity, transformation, and even destruction. One intriguing insight is the deification of fire in various cultures, where flames are seen as a manifestation of the divine, embodying power and spiritual energy. Another focuses on fire rituals, such as cremation ceremonies and solstice celebrations, which highlight fire's role in purification and rebirth. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together religious studies, anthropology, and archaeology to provide a comprehensive understanding. It begins by introducing fire's basic properties and its early impact on human development, then delves into how different cultures conceptualize fire in their myths and religious practices. The chapters progress thematically, investigating fire deities, rituals, and myths of world conflagration, culminating in a discussion of fire's enduring legacy in contemporary culture. "Sacred Flames" offers a valuable lens through which to understand our shared heritage and the complex relationship between humanity and this elemental force.

    A book of hope, of discovery, of love. 
    We all want connection; we all want to feel love. 
    In a desperation to find my ideal version of love, or what I thought it ‘should’ look like, I lost myself for a while there. 
    I became addicted to anxiety; this was my way out. My safety net! Sounds crazy, but true. After quite a journey I started to understand what I was doing, looking for a perfect love in all the wrong places! Discoveries surfacing through writing and meditation. A new mindful way of living, things started to become a little clearer. My days became a little less fearful and my life a little brighter. My faith and connection with love restored. I share with you in this book, what helped me, the magic of feeling love and understanding, that this won’t or can’t look the same to us all. Showing up everyday and trusting what you know holds so much value. 
    Don’t try and change who you are, try and find who you are instead. 
    When anxiety became present with my youngest daughter, I knew I needed to find the tools for her and also myself to be able to deal with our anxiety and create a safe space for us both and not let the anxiety rule our daily lives. 
    We began doing breathing techniques, including the 4-7-8 breathing method, which is one we really enjoy together, you will find this technique in the book and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading it and if you do, please let me know whet you think. 
    There are so many ways to work with me, check out the back of the book or visit my website 'ROOM 478'

    Dream States - Smart Cities...

    WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
    		 
    Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
    		 
    The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
    		 
    But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
    		 
    Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
    		 
    “John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
    		 
    “Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
    		 
    “Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities
