Sinopse

Religious Codes explores the shared ethical and legal foundations of diverse religious communities throughout history. It examines how divine law, ethical frameworks, and community governance function within various faiths, revealing surprising commonalities beneath apparent differences.

The Future - A Very Short...

Jennifer M. Gidley

From the beginning of time, humans have been driven by both a fear of the unknown and a curiosity to know. We have always yearned to know what lies ahead, whether threat or safety, scarcity or abundance. Throughout human history, our forebears tried to create certainty in the unknown, by seeking to influence outcomes with sacrifices to gods, preparing for the unexpected with advice from oracles, and by reading the stars through astrology. As scientific methods improve and computer technology develops we become ever more confident of our capacity to predict and quantify the future by accumulating and interpreting patterns from the past, yet the truth is there is still no certainty to be had.In this Very Short Introduction Jennifer Gidley considers some of our most burning questions: What is "the future?" Is the future a time yet to come? Or is it a utopian place? Does the future have a history? Is there only one future or are there many possible futures? She asks if the future can ever be truly predicted or if we create our own futures—both hoped for and feared—by our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and concludes by analyzing how we can learn to study the future.

LOVE UPON KNIVES - A Novel of...

ANNA GOGOLEVA

St. Petersburg, 1795. The glittering capital of Catherine the Great—a city of palatial wealth and abject poverty, where a single misstep can cost a life and a single glance can change a destiny.

Katya is nineteen years old, a floor-washer in the Winter Palace. Orphaned, illiterate, with nothing but her mother's river-pearl necklace and hands raw from lye, she expects nothing from life but more of the same: endless floors, endless servitude, endless invisibility.

Until the night a fortune-teller comes to the servants' hall.

The cards speak of a tower struck by lightning, a moon shrouded in deceit, and two lovers destined to walk on knives. Katya laughs—until she looks up and sees him standing in the doorway.

Baron Karl von Kleist is the Prussian envoy to the Russian court: brilliant, cultured, married to a woman he does not love. He has spent twenty years building a career, a reputation, a life of cold calculation. He has never once looked at a servant as anything but furniture.

But when his eyes meet Katya's across a candlelit room, something cracks inside him. Something he cannot name. Something he cannot control.

What begins as a stolen glance becomes a secret meeting in a moonlit garden. A kiss on a callused hand becomes a duel in a snow-covered forest. A forbidden love becomes a desperate flight across borders—and a choice that will cost them everything.

But in a world where nobles scheme and empresses watch, where Counts hunger for revenge and the Secret Chancellery hunts for spies, can a German baron and a Russian peasant build a life together? Can love survive the weight of empire?

Based on the timeless themes of passion, sacrifice, and the eternal power of the human heart, Love Upon Knives is a sweeping historical romance that asks the oldest question of all:

How far would you go for the one you love?

I humbly and gracefully say that this book, in my opinion, is optimistic and providential. It is experiential and offers more to the right souls who read the ideas correctly and with the right mindset. The content of this book came out of a flow during moments of deep connection, as if it were meant for a particular group of people. Often the author was surprised by the clarity that flowed into these moments and, at times, sat in shock because the insights were directly opposite to his beliefs and ways of doing things. He is fully convinced that the material belongs to the Universe and was intuited to him for his evolution and that of others. Often, he was inspired by his materials as if they were not his. The author experienced many awakening moments while channelling the wisdom shared in this book.
A state of vibration known as the “Divine vibration” is something our soul searches for naturally. It’s fulfilling and is placed at the highest rank as a highly positive experience by our core self. Divine Vibration is everywhere. All we need to do to experience it is to tune in to that vibration. We have a powerful tuning machine called the mind. This mind can tune in to any vibration, from revenge to love, grief to bliss, poverty to prosperity, and demonic to divine. We must be skilled enough to steer it in the right direction.
This book will help tune you to experience the divine vibration that is both fulfilling and healing. I could feel the transmission of divine energy through the words and ideas presented here. If you are reading this book and feeling the auspiciousness, then it’s meant for you. Please be in the right frame of mind to receive it.
