Sinopsis

Golden Shrines explores the captivating relationship between gold and the divine across various cultures and religions. It delves into the historical and religious significance of gilded temples, sacred altars, and monuments, examining how gold serves as a potent symbol of purity, enlightenment, and power. Readers will discover how the construction of these resplendent sites reflects not only spiritual aspirations but also earthly power, shaped by historical events, patronage, and trade routes. The book offers a unique perspective on the enduring human fascination with both material wealth and spiritual transcendence.

 
The book systematically progresses, beginning with an introduction to golden shrines across different faiths, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. It then examines the theological importance of gold, the historical and socio-political factors influencing the construction of these sites, and the artistic and architectural techniques employed. By synthesizing these perspectives, Golden Shrines reveals how these sites represent a convergence of spiritual yearning, historical circumstance, and artistic achievement.

    Stillpoint is the moment between thoughts, when all mental chatter ceases and the clarity of absolute mind emerges from within. Stillpoint is also an audiobook of short stories and original music from Grammy-winning producer, writer, and Zenist, Barrett Martin. Building on his previous two audiobooks that also came with musical soundtracks (The Singing Earth (2017) The Way Of The Zen Cowboy (2019), Stillpoint is his third audiobook with 18 stories and 15 original compositions that provide the soundtrack to the book. Both the book and the music were written and recorded during a calendar year between 2019-2020, when Barrett and his wife lived in a remote cliff house inside a wildlife refuge overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between Washington State and British Columbia. It’s a region where Barrett grew up and locals refer to as Cascadia, a wild and dramatic place with fierce storms, enchanting forests, and magical animals: bald eagles, ravens, hawks, screech owls, coyotes, raccoons, deer, bats, and the odd multicolored snake, are just some of the many creatures that reside in Cascadia and inspire the stories and songs in the book.

    A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
    Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

    Akhenaten the Nephilim God King...

    Except for Cleopatra, no ruler of Ancient Egypt has provoked a greater flow of ink from the pens of historians, archaeologists, moralists, novelists, and Nephilim Researchers than the Pharaoh Akhenaten, who governed almost half the civilized world for a brief span during the fourteenth century BC. The reason for all this lively interest is easy to see, and he was the greatest Nephilim of them all. The historians, searching the conscious and unconscious that masquerades as the official records in Ancient Egypt, are often at a loss to protect the ruler's personality beneath all his trappings of power, the man beneath the divinity. In folktales with their element of sardonic ribaldry, the Nephilim Pharaoh is seldom represented as having human aspects. He is more significant than life in official utterances, a mere personification of kingship: only the office has any individuality, and the temporary holder is always cast in the same mold. 
    With Akhenaten, however, there is a departure from the norm. Here is a Nephilim Pharaoh who ostensibly broke with the sacrosanct traditions of a millennium and a half and showed himself as a human being in the intimate circle of his family, dandling his Nephilim offspring, kissing his wife or taking her on his knee, or leading his mother by the hand. Here is a ruler who does not appear as the all-conquering hero of gigantic size slaughtering the foes of Egypt or as the aloof divine King greeting one of the many deities as an equal. Here was a poet credited with having written hymns to his Nephilim God, which expect the Psalms of David, who introduced a new and vital art style of his conception to express his novel ideas. Above all, here is a courageous innovator who abandoned the worship of the multifarious gods of Ancient Egypt in their human and animal forms and substituted for them an austere monotheism with an abstract symbol by which to represent it.
