  Ontology Or the Theory of Being

  Peter Coffey Ph. D.

  • 0

  In the domain of Ontology, there are many scholastic theories and discussions which are commonly regarded by non-scholastic writers as possessing nowadays, for the student of philosophy, an interest that is merely historical. This mistaken notion is probably due to the fact that few if any serious attempts have yet been made to transpose these questions from their medieval setting into the language and context of contemporary philosophy. Perhaps not a single one of these problems is really and in substance alien to present-day speculations.  
  The author has endeavoured, by his treatment of such characteristically “medieval” discussions as those on potentia and actus, essence and existence, individuation, the theory of distinctions, substance and accident, nature and person, logical and real relations, efficient and final causes, to show that the issues involved are in every instance as fully and keenly debated, in an altered setting and a new terminology, by recent and living philosophers of every school of thought as they were by St. Thomas and his contemporaries in the golden age of medieval scholasticism.  
  And, as the purposes of a text book demanded, attention has been devoted to stating the problems clearly, to showing the significance and bearings of discussions and solutions, rather than to detailed analyses of arguments. At the same time, it is hoped that the treatment is sufficiently full to be helpful even to advanced students and to all who are interested in the Metaphysics of the Schools.

  On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy made a speech to the Fort Worth, Texas, Chamber of Commerce; he was assassinated later that afternoon. Kennedy had traveled to the state to unite Texas Democrats where party leaders were feuding and extremists were contributing to political tensions. Kennedy knew an intra-party feud in Texas could jeopardize his chances of carrying the state for his 1964 re-election campaign.

  A behind-the-scenes look at how digital surveillance is affecting the trucking way of life. 
   
   
   
  Long-haul truckers are the backbone of the American economy, transporting goods under grueling conditions and immense economic pressure. Truckers have long valued the independence of their work, sharing a strong occupational identity rooted in a tradition of autonomy. Yet these workers increasingly find themselves under many watchful eyes. Data Driven examines how digital surveillance is upending life and work on the open road, and raises crucial questions about the role of data collection in broader systems of social control. 
   
   
   
  Karen Levy takes listeners inside a world few ever see, painting a bracing portrait of one of the last great American frontiers. Federal regulations now require truckers to buy and install digital monitors that capture data about their locations and behaviors. Intended to address the pervasive problem of trucker fatigue by regulating the number of hours driven each day, these devices support additional surveillance by trucking firms and other companies. Traveling from industry trade shows to law offices and truck-stop bars, Levy reveals how these invasive technologies are reconfiguring industry relationships and providing new tools for managerial and legal control—and how truckers are challenging and resisting them.

  Narrated by the author, this empowering spiritual philosophy audiobook contains seven of Story Waters' most popular introductory texts that cover a wide variety of topics and give a comprehensive overview of his core teachings. These texts were updated and expanded in 2024. This is the first book of the ‘No Religion: Consciousness Creates Reality’ compendium. The seven texts in 'The Book of Introductions' are:Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth (as originally channeled by Jane Roberts).Chapter 2: Imagined (about John Lennon, the power of imagination, and the origins of this book).Chapter 3: The Messenger (the relationship between spirit, the embodied self, and wider eternal consciousness).Chapter 4: Gnosticism & the Infinite Library (how the Gnostic/channeling process works).Chapter 5: Loving Unconsciousness (how we form our mortal self through the use of selective unconsciousness).Chapter 6: Open Your Mind (an invitation for you to have your own adventure in consciousness)."These texts have been drawn from two decades of writing — from in-depth, formal spiritual philosophy … to accessible short-form articles ... to stream-of-consciousness texts … to adapted transcripts of my spoken messages. They describe a belief system that has evolved from receiving thousands of hours of gnostic communication/channeling from the wider reality — the non-physical, timeless state of consciousness the human experience continually births from. These beliefs outline how all truth is subjective & how we are all vessels of experience. Along with your current life experiences, your diverse ‘contents’ include the other lifetimes that were instrumental in forming your intention for this life. The reality you are creating must be met & integrated, regardless of whether you identify its contents as positive or negative. It is a gift of self-transformation you have given to yourself." - from Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth.

She is among the most beloved and prominent spirits of Candomblé, Santeria, and other African diaspora traditions. Through her associations with the Virgin Mary, devotion to Yemaya spread throughout Latin America. Cuban immigrants brought Yemaya with them to the US, where her veneration expanded exponentially.
