Book Description
From the mid-90s to the present, television drama with religious content has come to reflect the growing cultural divide between white middle-America and concentrated urban elites. As author Charlotte E. Howell argues in this book, by 2016, television narratives of white Christianity had become entirely disconnected from the religion they were meant to represent. Programming labeled 'family-friendly' became a euphemism for white, middlebrow America, and developing audience niches became increasingly significant to serial dramatic television. Utilizing original case studies and interviews, Divine Programming investigates the development, writing, producing, marketing, and positioning of key series including 7th Heaven, Friday Night Lights, Rectify, Supernatural, Jane the Virgin, Daredevil, and Preacher. As this book shows, there has historically been a deep ambivalence among television production cultures regarding religion and Christianity more specifically. It illustrates how middle-American television audiences lost significance within the Hollywood television industry and how this in turn has informed and continues to inform television programming on a larger scale. In recent years, upscale audience niches have aligned with the perceived tastes of affluent, educated, multicultural, and-importantly-secular elites. As a result, the televised representation of white Christianity had to be othered, and shifted into the unreality of fantastic genres to appeal to niche audiences. To examine this effect, Howell looks at religious representation through four approaches - establishment, distancing, displacement, and use - and looks at series across a variety of genres and outlets in order to provied varied analyses of each theme.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Earth is an unprecedented emergency operation - an experimentation ground for the rehabilitation of humans. We are witnessing a struggle against a worldwide orchestration of minds, a battle between dark and light. The angel Seraphin examines the causes of the problems on our world, stipulating that the icy blast of truth will shatter our previous beliefs. Earth will become a place of peace and beauty if we recognise our Divine origin, live our personal missions and surrender to Divine Law. In an extensive question and answer session, the angel Seraphin provides answers to over 90 questions posed by seekers of truth. These answers were received telepathically by artist and author, Rosie Jackson. This fifth volume of The Complete Seraphin Messages also includes Seraphin Messages 431-450, the most recent to date. These offer help in desperate times, preparing us for transition to a better world which will be the inevitable result of our own spiritual progression. He states the following: If you know 100 percent that you are walking in the right direction, and if you know 100 percent that you are benefitting humanity with every footstep and every breath, then you will be happy always. Your actions, if they are guided by the DIVINE WITHIN, are the guiding lights which will rally society when it reaches its deepest collective trauma. Samples of questions asked and answered: Does love heal? Can meditation help the abused? How can I access divine wisdom? Is euthanasia ever ethical or justifiable? How can we leave our human failings behind? Is it possible to overcome traumatic experiences? How can violent prisoners change their behaviour? What should we know about the nature of the human body? What help can we expect from celestial observers of our planet?

Human Self
Author: Athar Saeed Naqvi, PhD
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504395611
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Unlike most theories of the human self that are generally based on conjecture, this book describes a new scientific theory of the human self and its states of consciousness. This theory is formulated using the revealed knowledge found in the Holy Scriptures along with the principles of physics. In a quest for the ultimate truth, the book attempts to understand the relationship between man and his Creator. Dr. Naqvi describes the universal principle of complementarity of creation that shows that the world of matter is not mutually exclusive to the spirit world, but both are complementary to each other. The three major holy scriptures of monotheistic faith describe the human spirit as a breath from the spirit of God. It is termed divine spark in man. The book explains that the divine spark is a seed of divine attributes of truth, goodness, compassion, and justice. A major outcome of this notion is that all humans are equal members of the family of God, irrespective of race, color, or creed and deserving mutual respect and compassion. Questions are answered about the origin of human spirit, purpose of human creation, spirit-matter interaction, and the basis of ethics. Findings of prominent neurosurgeons show that the spirit (soul) is an autonomous entity that can exist without a physical vehicle, which takes the inquisitive reader into a mind-blowing conclusion. This book is a response to the growing need among academics and thinking masses for scientific explanations of spirituality, psychology, philosophy, mysticism, religion, and paranormal phenomena. Over the past twenty-five years, the author has presented the theory in various universities in psychology and theology departments globally. This book may serve as course material for university-level psychology, philosophy, and theology departments. In brief, the unique theory presented in this book can be described as the science of spirituality.

Is Divine Energy
Author: Vipin Gupta
Publisher: Vipin Gupta
ISBN: 1087962803
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
Is Divine Energy: The secret of the limitless immanent value is a profound explanation of why divine is a state of mind. Our divinity is the impact we make through our conscious decisions. We also reproduce transcendental divinity by para-consciously letting our decisions be guided by a para entity’s divine plan. After that, we seek to invest our divine energy to compensate for programmatic, evolution-guided behaviors and become a revolutionary servicing our supernatural impact. What begins with a linear proportionality of each person’s intrinsic divinity transforms into a nonlinear proportionality of the extrinsic divinity and motivates a parabolic proportionality of the person’s present, absolute divinity. The infinity of microcosmic parabolic reactions constitutes a chaotic reality at the macrocosmic level. The chaotic reality lets the first moving, primordial entities enjoy a disproportionate conscious benefit of growth in their divinity. The later evolving, primeval entities suffer a disproportionate conscious cost of entropy in their divinity. At any moment, the present entity has a choice not to be either the evolved and constrained follower or the revolving and constraining leader. A present entity may decide to be a freedom entrepreneur, inspiring everybody to be the revolutionary and appropriate the entire evolutionary benefit of devoted followership of the perpetuating para deity oneself. For avoiding the certainty of the survival of only the one who is free from the two-dimensional present-effect as the fittest, we need to master the technique of responsibly managing the divine element. Is Divine Energy highlights how by opening one’s mind, one may become free from the theory-effect of a culturally-binding primordial creator and the ideal-effect of a consciousness-binding absolute creature. It demonstrates how each primeval creation of Mother Nature can enjoy the limitless transformations of the desired mood, destiny, divinity, and eternity using the self as the immanent value. It elegantly integrates and resolves grand challenges in a range of scientific disciplines and metaphysical discourses. Dr. Vipin Gupta has a Ph.D. in managerial science and applied economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a gold medalist from the Post-graduate Program of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India. He is a Professor of sensible management and appropriate science at the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration, California State University San Bernardino, USA.
