Beschreibung

Faith Healers explores the compelling history of spiritual healing, miraculous recoveries, and faith-based medical practices across diverse cultures and religions. It examines how these practices have evolved and influenced societies, highlighting the profound connection between belief, ritual, and physiological responses. The book delves into the historical development of healing practices within major religions, tracing their origins from ancient shamanistic rituals to modern healing ministries. A key insight is understanding how deeply ingrained faith and spirituality are in the human experience of health and well-being, influencing healthcare choices and societal attitudes towards illness. The book uniquely approaches its subject by presenting case studies and historical examples from various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It investigates the socio-cultural factors that contribute to the perception and acceptance of miraculous recoveries, reflecting the human need for meaning, hope, and community. Structured in three parts, the book begins by defining key concepts, explores specific examples across different religions, and synthesizes findings while considering ethics and the placebo effect. This exploration provides a balanced perspective on the complex intersection of religion, belief systems, and healing practices throughout history.

Secret Societies: Control and...

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

From the dawn of mankind there have been secret societies. Groups of men and women coming together to gain and maintain power for themselves. As populations grew so too did the power and the need to be extremely creative in methods of control.

Over the centuries there have been a few elite brotherhoods that have developed incredibly subtle and complex ways to manipulate the people. They have invented religions and mysteries; they have seeded revolution and started wars. Literature, plays, fables, movies, games, belief systems and the internet are all weapons in their growing armoury.

In this book we will explain how these secret societies manipulate mankind. We will delve into the psychology they use to control the way we buy, vote and believe. Everything we do and think is created for us. Even if we believe we are free. And all of this began many thousands of years ago when they created the religions of the globe. The exact same processes used to entice people to believe are now used to manipulate us. But more than that, we will reveal the people behind the creation of Christianity, Islam and more and the hidden secrets that they guard to this day. From Jesus to Buddha, from Muhammad to Zoroaster, the patterns are the same because they were all created by the same elite group.

They have made history and rewritten it. They hide in plain sight. We have worshipped them from afar. They are our gods, leaders, priests and revolutionaries. They are the secret societies of the globe and this is their story.

Social Security Horror Stories -...

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Terry Savage

Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
 
 
 
Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
 
 
 
Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
 
 
 
But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
 
 
 
We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.

Fervent Freedom Fighters -...

Daniel Cosculluela

This anthology brings to light the richness of the pamphleteer tradition in France, between the 16th and 20th centuries. Though satirists and pamphleteers have emerged out of various political backgrounds down through the centuries, what they have in common is irreverence, courage and insubordination to all forms of power. Among them: Blanqui, Bloy, Desmoulins, Libertad, Proudhon, Rivarol, Séverine Vallès and Zo d'Axa.
At a time when freedom of expression is increasingly questioned, Daniel Cosculluela wanted to resurrect the fighting spirit of those who acted and wrote, often at the risk of their lives. Many of these fighters for freedom of speech and thought had to flee their countries to avoid prison or assassination. 
The author wanted to engage in a dialogue with those who live on through our thoughts, dreams and revolts. His choices are personal, but the writers selected have all played a major role in the movement of ideas which inspire, consciously or not, the commitment and the choises of millions of men and women today.

So Who is God Anyway? - An...

G.S. Payne

"Boldly blows the lid off a taboo topic. If there’s one book on God to read this year, please make it ‘So Who is God Anyway?’ by G.S. Payne.” —Reader Views 
"A well-written and convincing rumination on the divine." --Kirkus Reviews 
GS Payne, writer, sleuth, and eternally curious ruminator, investigates 2,500 years-plus of philosophical thought on the subject of God. Using the tools of the philosopher (and a lot of humor), Payne traces the thinking of history's greatest brains to arrive initially at a conclusion on the matter of God's existence; then, a philosophical conception of God that is no less than startling, first because it is nothing like the traditional conception of God (he of the beard and sandals on his throne in the sky), and, second, because it is a conception that not only goes back to the beginning of recorded time, but is recognized by every major religion on earth, and yet has been tragically relegated to the fringes by the louder, more fundamentalist branches of mainstream religion. 
So Who is God, Anyway? delivers splendidly-for doubters, skeptics, recovering fundamentalists, or anyone looking for a fun book to read about some damn big questions!
