Written in the aftermath of the Second World War, Albert Camuss essay is a searching inquiry into the origins of the hubris and fanaticism that laid waste to twentieth-century Europe. The Greeks never said that the limit could not he overstepped. They said it existed and that whoever dared to exceed it was mercilessly struck down.

Conventional history claims that nine men formed a brotherhood in Jerusalem in 1118. But what if it can be proved the Order of the Temple was active a decade earlier on the opposite side of Europe, that the aim to protect pilgrims was a smokescreen, and that in league with the Cistercian monks, and the equally mysterious Order of Sion, the Templars executed one of history's most daring and covert plans: the creation of Europe's first nation-state, Portugal, with one of their own as king? Supported by over 700 references, many from rare sources, this book not only reveals a host of previously unknown facets of the Knights' formative history, it discloses their motivation to create a country far from the grasp of Rome, where they conducted an outlawed spiritual doctrine, and a 4000-year old secret ritual in which initiates were declared 'risen from the dead' - a secret that could instigate a major social change, for which the Church silenced millions, and the Templars protected to the death. This fresh investigative historical narrative places the intrepid knights in a previously unknown time and place, reveals the Portuguese roots of key founder members, their relationship with the Order of Sion, the unshakable devotion to Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist, and how they protected a holy bloodline in Portugal. It also reappraises the meaning of the Grail and reveals its exact location, hidden in plain sight to this very day. This original, eye-opening account will engage and surprise even the most seasoned Templar enthusiasts.

From earliest times, people have speculated about what happens when they and their loved ones die. Their views vary from certainty about life after death to utter disbelief. Today, many continue to believe in the survival of consciousness after physical death with some claiming actual experiences of the departed and contact with them of some kind. In an era which we think of as the enlightened era of science, education and widespread secularism, many people report contact with dead. In a survey at the end of the 20th century, 31% of people in the USA , reperted they had felt that they had been in contact with some one who had died (Greeley 1975), and in Europe the number was 25% (Haraldsson and Houtkooper 1991). Scientist, Erlendur Haraldsson, a native of Iceland, sought an answer to his question, "Have you ever been aware of the presence of a deceased person?" In the modern and educated society of Iceland, one of the Scandinavian countries; he conducted an extensive survey. During the following years, detailed personal interviews were conducted with over 450 people who responded with a yes to questions about personal experiences of the deceased while in a waking state. These accounts form the basis for this book. The results are fascinating and make compelling reading.
Etwa drei Jahre nach Erscheinen des zweiten Bandes seiner "Années de Pèlerinage" (Italien) fügte Liszt dieser Sammlung noch einen Anhang bei: das Triptychon "Venezia e Napoli". Hierfür überarbeitete er zwei von vier Stücken, die bereits 1840 nach einer Italienreise entstanden waren, und gruppierte sie um eine Adaption des Gondellieds "Nessun maggior dolore" aus Rossinis "Otello". Besonders die furiose "Tarantella", die den Schlusspunkt hinter die beiden eher gesanglichen Stücke "Gondoliera" und "Canzone" setzt, ist aus dem Klavierrepertoire nicht mehr wegzudenken. Mit Erscheinen dieses Supplements liegen sämtliche Werke aus dem Umkreis der "Années de Pèlerinage" im Henle-Urtext vor.
Is Twin Peaks a cult-like phenomenon...or a mystery that needs to be solved...or simply the fever dream of its eccentric creator? No other show in the history of television has sparked so many questions and The Tao of Twin Peaks provides answers to those who seek to understand this surreal, multilayered, and metafictional story. Much has been written about Twin Peaks, but this book is markedly different. It is not just for the most ardent fans who love decoding clues in the series. It also explores the show's cinematic techniques, its cultural references, and its mythological, psychological, and religious influences. Just some of the topics explored: The significance of the Red Room Laura Palmer as both angel and centerfold The answer to "Who is Judy?" The connection between Agent Cooper and Mr. C The relationship of the plot to electricity and the atomic bomb Twin Peaks as a working philosophy "What year is this?" Making sense of the end of the series In Taoism, the goal is to achieve balance in our ever-changing reality. The Tao of Twin Peaks illustrates how David Lynch accomplishes this feat in this classic show. It examines the entire Twin Peaks canon, including Fire Walk with Me, with a particular focus on Twin Peaks: The Return. For the author, William Dickerson, the search for significance in Twin Peaks is analogous to the search for meaning in both his and his readers' lives. As strange as the characters and plots may be, they echo our own traumas, growth, and experience. Featuring original artwork by Gilbert Leiker, The Tao of Twin Peaks will set you on the road to solving the show's enigmas and, as a result, deepen your appreciation of future viewings along the way. Uncover the details of David Lynch's cinematic craft as he creates the off-kilter world of Twin Peaks and turns the mirror on us.

A fresh and insightful account of the origin of ancient temples and the role played by sacred sites in raising human consciousness. Can a temple transform an ordinary person into an extraordinary being? Ancient texts refer to temples as living beings, intermediaries between matter and spirit that serve to transform people "into gods, into bright stars."They also describe a global flood in 9703 BC, and how groups of survivors - Seven Sages, Shining Ones, Followers of Horus - set out to "rebuild the former mansions of the gods" by creating a vast, interconnected network of power places upon the Earth's energy hotspots. And the temples that rose from them would serve future generations whenever they lost their spiritual compass. What's more, science has now discovered these portals are still working. Based on solid evidence, this original work uncovers the origin of sacred sites, the seven laws that transform ordinary locations into portals, how the measurable energy in ancient temples induces altered states of consciousness, and why we seek out these mysterious places. From Stonehenge and the sacred sites of Egypt, to India, the Americas, Pacific islands and the Far East, best-selling author Freddy Silva takes you on a 17,000-year journey of levitating stones, underwater 'cities of knowledge', 15-foot tall gods and the secret esoteric groups who kept this single-minded vision alive throughout recent history. Their aim? The transformation of every person on Earth.

"I set myself the task of describing the 'humane, start with what you do now approach to change' not as a productivity tool, but as a management method built around a strong framework of values-a way to help organizations work better for their people, their customers, and other stakeholders." - Mike Burrows, author Kanban from the Inside takes a distinctive approach to the Kanban Method-using a system of nine values to explain what it is, to give insight into how its practitioners think, and to offer practical advice on how to apply it. Readers new to Kanban will understand why and how it works, while those with experience will appreciate its fresh perspective and the connections it makes with a range of related models. Part I draws on real-world experience to explain the Kanban Method through nine values: transparency, balance, collaboration, customer focus, flow, leadership, understanding, agreement, and respect. It also introduces Kanban's three Agendas and the Kanban Lens. Part II describes other models useful to understanding and applying the Kanban Method more effectively. It is a tour through related bodies of knowledge, including Systems Thinking, Lean, Agile, and Theory of Constraints. Part III is a step-by-step implementation guide that brings up to date the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban (STATIK). It offers practical ways to capture and address in your Kanban implementation the needs of your organization, your colleagues, and your customers. --------------------------- "This book is the new standard that I will recommend to anyone getting started with Kanban." -Wolfgang Wiedenroth, Kanban Trainer/Coach, it-agile "It is not focused just on the mechanics of the kanban board; rather it explains everything you need around it to keep a Kanban initiative moving." -Klaus Leopold, Kanban Trainer/Coach, LEANability "This gave me a deeper understanding of familiar concepts and introduced concepts new to me." -Kevin Murray, Delivery Director, Valtech UK

Over three decades, Nancy Evans Bush has built a reputation as a trusted pioneer in research of those near-death experiences which are not the usual peaceful kind but are distressing, downright frightening or even hellish. Now, in her anticipated third book, she addresses the long struggle to make sense of her own disempowering NDE of the Void. Her unexpected, sometimes humorous, often synchronistic discoveries provide both challenges and reassurance. She says, "At the beginning, learning about 'all this'--the spirituality, the consciousness, the psychic elements--was like finding threads of meaning, I thought, if one could only get enough of them to braid together, there would be some understanding to work with." Reckoning is a partial gathering of the threads she has been following to achieve the serenity of her presentoutlook. Mark Anthony, the acclaimed "attorney/psychic," says: "Reckoning is an insightful and uplifting book...destined to become an authoritative classic in the realm of near-death experience literature."
God Almighty said in Exodus 20:7 (KJV) "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain." In the reverent attempt to make sure no one ever breaks this vital commandment, the Jewish rabbis decided thousands of years ago not to ever pronounce God's Sacred Name which in Hebrew is spelled YHVH. In place of His Name, they decided to say "Adonai" or "HaShem" ("The Name" in Hebrew). May God bless them for so carefully and reverently obeying His command. Jewish people still follow this custom today. Bible translators do also. They replace God's Name with "LORD" in all capital letters (as in the verse above). In fact, the adherence to this Rabbinical rule has been so complete that the correct pronunciation of the Almighty's Awesome, Sacred Name has been lost. No one today knows for sure how it was pronounced. We wonder, is that what the Creator of the Universe had in mind? Does He really never want to hear His Name on our lips, if spoken with great reverence and awe? He put His Name in the Bible almost 7000 times. David, "a man after God's own heart," wrote this Sacred, Hebrew Name almost 800 times in the Psalms, most likely also pronouncing it when he recited, prayed, or sang those psalms to YHVH. It is a beautiful blessing just to see the Hebrew Sacred Name throughout the Scriptures-a feast for our eyes and souls and spirits. Maybe someday we will also have the blessing to know how to proclaim His Name aloud in power, sing His Name lovingly in praise, and call upon His Sacred Name sincerely in supplication. However, since HaShem allowed the sound of His Name to be lost, perhaps He wants it spoken only in private truly reverently. Two most likely pronunciations put forth by Hebrew scholars are: "Yehovah" or "Yahoveh." It is not pronounced "Jehovah" because there is no "j" sound in Hebrew. It is not "Yahweh" because there is no "w" sound in Hebrew. (Although some say that in ancient Hebrew, there was a sound somewhere between a "w" and a "v".) May ADONAI Himself reveal, if He wills, how to say---in secret prayer and worship time---with all respect, honor, and reverence---His Most Holy, powerful Name. There is so much deep meaning and beauty in the Sacred Name, YHVH. There is the meaning of existing, of breath, and of past, present, and future. And when you look at the meanings of the individual Hebrew letters of YHVH, there is something very astounding. Hebrew letters were originally pictographs, each one having a meaning. The Hebrew "Y" has the underlying meaning of "hand," the background meaning of the "H" is "window" or "behold." The "V" was originally a picture of tent peg or a nail. Put this together, and it says "hand, behold, nail, behold." Since the Hebrew grammar is often backwards from English, we can turn that around to say: "Behold the hand, behold the nail." Doesn't that just give you revelation chills of awe? May the LORD keep on revealing to us more and more about His Sacred Hebrew Name. Find out something similarly astounding about our Messiah and Savior's Sacred Hebrew Name, Yeshua, in this Bible and on Olive Press Publisher's website. You will be so amazed. This Bible uses the King James Version with only these changes: &a
This book applies Boyle's functionalist, Fullerian, and anti-Hobbesian framework of analysis for international law and organizations elaborated above in order to develop a comprehensive history and critique of American foreign policy toward Libya from when the Reagan administration came to power in January of 1981 until today in the immediate aftermath of the Obama administration's orchestrated NATO War against Libya, that is for over the past three decades. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with the repeated series of military conflicts and crises between the United States and Libya over the Gulf of Sidra and international terrorism during the eight years of the neoconservative Reagan administration. Chapter 4 explains and analyzes the Lockerbie bombing allegations and dispute by the United States and the United Kingdom against Libya that started with the realist Bush Senior administration, continued through the neoliberal Clinton administration, and was finally wound up by the neoconservative Bush Junior administration in order to gain access to Libya's oil.Then in 2011 the neoliberal Obama administration directly took over Libya's oil fields under the pretext of the so-called Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. Chapter 5 analyzes and debunks the doctrines of R2P and its immediate predecessor "humanitarian intervention" in accordance with the standard recognized criteria of international law. Chapter 6 then takes this debunking analysis and applies it to the U.S./NATO war against Libya under the R2P rubric during the neoliberal Obama administration in 2011. In the Conclusion, Boyle reflects on where the world stands today after September 11, 2001 and the consequent American "global war on terrorism" for which the oil-laden Libya had always been designated to be a primary target starting since the late neoliberal Carter administration and primarily because of that oleaginous reason alone.It took three decades for the United States government spanning and working assiduously over five different presidential administrations (Reagan, Bush Senior, Clinton, Bush Junior, and Obama) to overthrow and reverse the 1969 Qaddafi Revolution in order to reconquer and resubjugate Libya, its oil fields, and its people, as well as to re-establish an American neo-colonial outpost in North Africa for the express purpose of projecting power onto that continent where all human life itself began - the cradle of civilization. This book tells the story of what happened, why it happened, and what was wrong with what happened from the perspective of an international law professor and lawyer who tried for over three decades to stop it and to promote a better future for Libya and the Libyans as well as improved, peaceful and better relations between them and the United States.
