This important essay by the French Catholic philosopher articulates the foundation for his influential interpretations of Thomas Aquinas. Known for his influential writings that brought fresh relevance to the work of Thomas Aquinas, Jacques Maritain was one of the most important Catholic philosophers of the twentieth century. Although An Essay on Christian Philosophy is not generally considered to be among his major works, it is, in a sense, the key to unlocking his massive synthesis of modern Thomism. This provocative essay reveals the inner springs of Maritain’s ideas concerning mankind’s relationship to God. This lucid translation by Edward H. Flannery includes a glossary of technical terms, making it even more accessible for the general reader.Voir livre
A secluded country house. A rogue Anglican Priest. Ceremonial sex and mislaid fortunes. This is the almost-forgotten story of Victorian Britain's strangest religious sect and its wealthy, mostly female, followers who believed they could ascend directly to heaven. Henry James Prince was a rogue Anglican Priest with a flare for the dramatic, and the founder of the Agapemone, or 'Abode of Love'. He also claimed to be the immortal conduit of The Holy Spirit and purportedly engaged in free love and ceremonial sex with his mostly female followers. But Prince's eventual death didn't mark the end of this strange set... he was promptly replaced by another. John Hugh Smyth-Pigott - otherwise known as the Clapton Messiah. The Abode transformed a sleepy, rural corner of Somerset into one of England's most notorious locations. While the followers shut themselves away and waited patiently for the end of the world, outrage grew - the word 'Agapemone' because a byword for licentiousness or idleness, used by Charles Dickens and Ford Maddox Ford. The reclusive Clapton Messiah became a fixture in the nation's papers, with frenzied efforts to discredit the organisation and undermine its leader. And still the cult grew. Expertly drawing on primary sources to tell the story of the Agapemonites in details for the first time, Stuart Flinders shines a light on the people drawn to the cult - the forced marriages; the swindled fortunes; the women condemned to asylums; and those who managed to escape from the Abode. It is also the story of two extraordinary men, whose claims of divinity were at the heart of this very British cult.Voir livre
Phonics instruction shouldn't end when students can decode short words. From an early age, they also need to be able to decode "big words"-words with multiple syllables (sound units) and morphemes (meaning units)-to read proficiently. The key is to teach them systematically and explicitly, in developmentally appropriate ways. That's where this audiobook comes in. Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer shares essential background on how language "works," provides a K-5 scope and sequence to guide practice, and offers abundant research-backed strategies that teachers can put into action immediately.Voir livre
What do ideas look like? This clairvoyant view of the shape, color, and atmospheric effect of mental energy includes black-and-white drawings and color plates to convey a graphic representation of the power of thought. Prominent Theosophists Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater were pioneers in asserting that thoughts are, indeed, things. Originally released in 1901, Thought-Forms is a seminal work on what thoughts “look” like. It had an impact far beyond the circle of its primary readers and greatly influenced leading artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. Simple in style and clearly written, Thought-Forms is a classic of the theosophical tradition that has as much to say in our own day as it did a century ago. It lucidly sets forth a way to conceive of the invisible realms within and around us, with implications both for how we view the world and how we act in it. Discussion includes the meaning of color, thought forms built by music, and the nature of helpful thoughts. Based on the authors’ clairvoyant vision, its illustrations suggest the form thoughts take in relation, for instance, to anger, fear, intellect, sympathy, devotion, and a meditative state. Annie Besant herself describes the book’s purpose as being to “serve as a striking moral lesson to every reader, making him realize the nature and power of his thoughts, acting as a stimulus to the noble and a curb to the base. With this belief and hope we send it on its way”.Voir livre
Words from Servant C. D. Bennett "...if knowledge is one of the main keys to success, and wisdom gives us the ability to apply that knowledge, then this book IS the tool that will give your marriage the best opportunity to last a lifetime." ...Are you looking for a manuscript on marriage? Then look no further, The Apostasy of Marriage offers a potpourri of information about our innate nature on how we are wired, what makes us tick, and how & why we respond the way we do, different types and levels of love, what, why, & how each gender nurtures and feeds from the other, and much much more! How does anyone know if their marriage is truly beyond saving? Marriage is a blessed union, one that most people enter into with the most faithful and loving intentions. However, with the current rate of divorce hovering at around 40 percent, it’s clear that many couples experience significant levels of dissatisfaction and unhappiness with their spouse at some point during their marriage, to the point where ending the marriage becomes a viable option for one or both parties. If your marriage has reached this level of unhappiness, The Apostasy of Marriage is the turning point you’ve been looking for. Designed as a resource and guide for men and women alike, Pastor Bennett’s reflections and summations will help you understand the critical questions and address issues that plague many marriages: · What principles did God establish for marriage? · What are the boundaries of marriage, and how does crossing these boundaries impact my relationship with my spouse? · What are some of the common abuses that occur during a marriage, and can the damage from these abuses be repaired? · The danger of “Stacking Chips” in your marriage Even though the light of your marriage under God may have greatly dimmed, The Apostasy of Marriage is the beacon that can help renew your commitment and shared love with your spouse, restoring both hope and healing into your troubled relationship.Voir livre
