1.Relationship without image is love
Relationship means action and movement.
Without understanding the totality of human relationship we live in conflict, however intimate we may be.
When there is knowledge as image in relationship there is conflict.
2.The meaning of life pleasure and fear
"Is life a mere struggle within and without; laborious, painful, anxious, and then death?
What place has thought and what is the structure of thinking?
Pleasure is the continuance of an incident which is dead, past. Thought pursues that incident which becomes pleasure.
3.Order love and death
In our life there is very little order.
Most of us conform, which is the very essence of disorder.
We conform because we want to succeed inwardly or outwardly; success to us is the most important thing in life.
Order and virtue come with the understanding of disorder.
4.Religion and meditation
What part does religion play in one’s life?
How do you know that you or anyone has attained enlightenment or reached the highest form of religious thought?
How can a mind which is always in conflict within itself find that which has never been in conflict?
In inquiring into meditation, do not follow anybody.
Meditation is a daily life in which there is no control whatsoever.
When dealing with psychological facts, is the observer different from the thing observed?
A certain part of the brain can function efficiently only when it has total order, security.
The moment you are aware you are silent it is not silence.
Silence is the highest order.
In silence, parts of the brain which have not been occupied become totally active.

Faithful Politics - Ten...

Miranda Zapor Cruz

How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
In Faithful Politics, you'll find

- Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
- A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
- Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

Sign-Language and Mythology as...

Gerald Massey

“Myth-making Man” did not create the Gods in his own image. The primary divinities of Egypt, such as Sut, Sebek, and Shu, three of the earliest, were represented in the likeness of the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile, and the Lion; whilst Hapi was imaged as an Ape, Anup as a Jackal, Ptah as a Beetle, Taht as an Ibis, Seb as a Goose. So it was the Goddesses. They are the likenesses of powers that were super-human, not human…. A huge mistake has hitherto been made in assuming that the Myth-Makers began by fashioning the Nature-Powers in their own human likeness. –from “Sign Language and Mythology as Primitive Modes of Representation” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 1 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey argues that “primitive man” found no human agency in the phenomena of the natural world, which led to a woeful misinterpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks and Romans as well as a misunderstanding of the essence of Egyptian mythology. As a consequence, Massey contends, a deep fount of wisdom of the ancients has been lost, and he goes on to reveal how it can be rediscovered. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
