Book Description
Standards are criterion (e.g. a rule, test, model, example) against which like-kind things are compared for similarities/differences. Spiritual Standards are based upon Cosmic (God) Laws-- themselves vibratory Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural. They, and their Attributes--by being immaterial, eternal (timeless), infinite, consistent, permanent, stationary--are of Absolute Certainty. All of these comprise the metaphorical vibratory Circular Cosmic Spiritual Genetics River System which connects Cosmic Creatures/Creations into multi-systems via the ultimate and infinite unifying force, Unconditional Love. Using African Tradition's Qualitative Algebra, Spiritual Standards enable humans to Differentiate Harmony from Disharmony; Integrate those having Correspondence (i.e. same God Genetic Seed); and infer Human Ideal Right Life Living Guidelines. These Guidelines are applicable in Spiritual, Spiritual/Metaphysical, and Spiritual/Metaphysical/Physical realms. By Cosmic River System Guidelines allowing for variations, without penalties, humans can used individualized means of discovery of practices to conform to its rhythms of virtues and morals for doing Selfless "ME/WE" benefits. Such of African people's traditional unchanging strivings while in life's flow of Events (changing Realities) equates to a Group Spirit of Continuity (unity among apparent diversity). By contrast, human-made Standards represent agreed upon criterion of excellence--"is it FOR me or AGAINST me"--or "injustice giving 'Us' unfair advantages and 'Them' unfair dis-advantages." This book points out certain Spiritual, Secular, and Supernatural cult Standard aspects.

Pages : 630
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK A generic Dictionary deals with terms of Worth (what harmonizes and improves a human's Highest or Divinity Self) and of Value (comprised of Matter). The one emphasized depends upon the Philosophical orientation of the Wordsmith(s) who puts the Dictionary together. That Philosophy has a Source--(God-Made) or (Human-Made)--and its nature is good or not for the "ME/WE." Whether dealing with Worth and/or Value, the Real (Spiritual God-Made and/or Truth) or the Unreal (Human-Made God and/or opinions) dominate. Or, the Real and Unreal may be admixed. But the key is determining if what underlies such differences are inNatural World Mathematical Order. If so, it interconnects with the Cosmic multi-dimensional systems whose "Genetics," from the Natural World's Supreme Being, is the Spiritual Elements flowing everywhere as Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural processes. Proof comes from Qualitative and Quantitative Mathematics showing an ultimate unifying force connecting all Real Creatures and Creations. So, to do "ME/WE" production in that "Genetics" flow is to engage in Right Life Living. All aspects of this have been worked out in African Tradition over 190,000+ years. Their elaboration--within the context of Worth, Value, Values--is the focus of this book. Values are the best Things of Worth and Value. To appreciate African Tradition Values is to see its European Supernatural (fantasy) 180-degree contrast. Obtaining "Enough" of the best Things of Value enables a human to pursue Things of Worth. And that pursuit equates to a "Good Life"!

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK Principles, Truths, Knowledge, and Wisdom characterize African Tradition's Infinite Spiritual Realm. Very Ancient Africans' Astro-Mathematics (c20,000 BC) formalized "One"--the Infinite Black-as fashioning all real things. Whereas Black's Essence symbolizes the Flame of God, its Finite White Spark Essential designs the Cosmos ] all Cosmic Creatures and Creations. So, Black (containing all colors) and White (combining all colors) are indivisible Cosmic differences-like two sides of a coin. White light shined through a prism comes out as visible rays of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet colors. Imagine each color representing Cosmic Archetypes--like the Animal Kingdom, Plant Queendom, and Minerals. Discerning any aspect of the Black Flame's dazzling, blinding, illuminating splendor is Spiritual Knowledge-known intuitively by its harmonious Mathematical relationships between parts with each other and the whole-or not. When applied to Spiritual/Metaphysical and Spiritual/Metaphysical/Physical realms, this Secular Wisdom-an intellectual and moral virtue-is application of Good, Right, and Caring acts to do Harmony + end Disharmony. So, what frees one from errors, reduces poverties in "ME/WE" struggles, and promotes thriving is Human Wisdom. Within this context, Truths deal with the proper Purpose, interaction with, functioning of, and usage performed by each Archetype offspring and the whole. A Principle is any Spiritual (Infinite) and Matter (Finite) mosaic of the Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural. Principles impart meanings of Knowledge or Truths. This book gives ingredients of and suggestions for what to do/not do to apply Principles, Truth, and Knowledge for "ME/WE" Wisdom flowing in harmony with Cosmic Laws for Right Life Living.

Pages : 592
Book Description
In the Setting of Hunting cultures, featuring no division of labor + individualistic Self-Discovery--African Tradition began its formalization by Primitive African Shaman. Each 'Medicine Man' went alone into the forest/jungle to undergo Psychic Ordeals to establish Self-Reliance and to keep realizing all humans are equal and the interconnections of all life. Using herbs to arouse their Life-Force into manifesting Trance psychic phenomena, Rock Art indicates they saw Form-Constants--geometric shapes--"memory deposits" giving Spiritual Knowings. Then, doing deep "pot-belly shaped" diaphragmatic breathing--so as to withdraw the focal point of consciousness from their senses + induce a mental wakefulness state of 50 times the norm--they were "Inspired" (in + breath or spirit animation) into an "awakening by divine influence." Once their consciousness was raised to the higher parts of their Spirits, itself interdependent with their bodies, they focused resultant powers for use in healing, divination, and clairvoyance. Since, for Primitive Africans, the culture and environment were essentially the same, their various brilliant "Seed" ideas were combined with later efforts of Ancient African Sages to form profound and never equaled Thinking skills. This may have been the spur for African Sages to devise Africans' Philosophy of Life + consider Sacred Geometrical Forms in the heavens + such concepts as Thought-Forces, Element Numbers, and Music of the Spheres. This book discusses their ramifications and contrasts this with those reared by Agrarian based societies.

Book Description
The Oxford English Dictionary is the ultimate authority on the usage and meaning of English words and phrases, and a fascinating guide to the evolution of our language. It traces the usage, meaning and history of words from 1150 AD to the present day. No dictionary of any language approaches the OED in thoroughness, authority, and wealth of linguistic information. The OED defines over half a million words, and includes almost 2.4 million illustrative quotations, providing an invaluable record of English throughout the centuries. The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both present and past. The OED has a unique historical focus. Accompanying each definition is a chronologically arranged group of quotations that trace the usage of words, and show the contexts in which they can be used. The quotations are drawn from a huge variety of international sources - literary, scholarly, technical, popular - and represent authors as disparate as Geoffrey Chaucer and Erica Jong, William Shakespeare and Raymond Chandler, Charles Darwin and John Le Carré. In all, nearly 2.5 million quotations can be found in the OED . Other features distinguishing the entries in the Dictionary are authoritative definitions of over 500,000 words; detailed information on pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet; listings of variant spellings used throughout each word's history; extensive treatment of etymology; and details of area of usage and of any regional characteristics (including geographical origins).

Understanding World Religions
Author: Irving Hexham
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310314488
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
Globalization and high-speed communication put twenty-first century people in contact with adherents to a wide variety of world religions, but usually, valuable knowledge of these other traditions is limited at best. On the one hand, religious stereotypes abound, hampering a serious exploration of unfamiliar philosophies and practices. On the other hand, the popular idea that all religions lead to the same God or the same moral life fails to account for the distinctive origins and radically different teachings found across the world’s many religions. Understanding World Religions presents religion as a complex and intriguing matrix of history, philosophy, culture, beliefs, and practices. Hexham believes that a certain degree of objectivity and critique is inherent in the study of religion, and he guides readers in responsible ways of carrying this out. Of particular importance is Hexham’s decision to explore African religions, which have frequently been absent from major religion texts. He surveys these in addition to varieties of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
