This book is about a short story that may look controversial at first, but after a few pages may make you think otherwise. Some of the things can and do happen in people''s lives, so therefore you can take it with a pinch of salt, on the other hand you may be able to identify with it, as many have had these experiences in their lives but at times too afraid to tell anyone in case they get laughed at. I have tried to make it sound reasonable at this point in time, so the readers can make their own mind up. It is a story that can happen and take place in someone''s life. So you can make your own mind up, as its validity. Take nothing for granted in this world of ours especially when you look around at what is happening in the world today with the bloodshed and unhappiness that surrounds us.

Is there such a place called the spiritual world? This mysterious plane of existence had eluded man from the beginning of known time. You would think, being in the twenty-first century, we would be more conversant regarding this phenomenon, but alas, this is not so. Who can give us an account and possibly give us some definite realization to its validity? First and foremost, it is suggested the spirit world is all around us here and now, lying adjacent to the material world, not some distant planet in the cosmos. In my books, I have tried to explain the fundamental principles involved in communicating with the afterlife. I believe that very shortly the spiritual world will become a natural sequence of events. At the moment, the only proof is through a medium acting as a mediator between the two worlds, relaying information from those who have passed on from their earthly duties. I just happen to be one of those mediums who can bring the two worlds together momentarily.

A down-to-earth, visual guidebook that shows how to “read,” understand, and get the most out of art. For beginners, art history might seem a daunting subject with complex rules and impenetrable technical language. Even for more seasoned art lovers the question of how to think about art is a perennial riddle. Art Uncovered is the perfect resource for both audiences: an engaging, visual primer for the general reader and educators. Designed like an instruction manual, fifty key artworks from around the world are deconstructed with explanations, diagrams, and close-ups in order to reveal the elements that comprise a masterpiece. Dating from the earliest times to the present, the artworks under analysis are drawn from many cultures and cover all forms of visual media, including drawing, illustration, photography, prints, and sculpture. Matthew Wilson’s simple approach, using established art historical methods, enables the reader to discover the fundamentals of art history, from considerations of function, historical context, iconography, and artists’ experience to broader issues of identity, including feminism, gender, and postcolonialism. Whether it’s the mask of Tutankhamun or Dorothea Lange’s photograph Migrant Mother, Katsushika Hokusai’s Great Wave or Kara Walker’s Gone, each image is dissected on the page in a no-nonsense style, with explanatory notes detailing artists’ sources of inspiration, associated styles and movements, plus any relevant quotes, related visuals, and other contextual and issue-led information with keywords for handy cross-referencing. The resulting book is a dynamic visual resource that will inspire and spark enjoyment of art in all its forms.

This is a continuation regarding the immortality of man from the spiritual realms, stories concerning the lives of people who lived before passing to the higher side of life. Everyone has a story to tell about the way their lives turned out. Memories are mostly events and entualities that took place in a period of time. Each person has a past that belongs to them as individuals. Everyone would have liked to express parts of their lives before passing over. This book is going to do just that--you could hear voices whispering words to their loved ones, if we could, for a moment, listen or hear what they have to say or what they want to do before being released from their earthly lives. But this appears to be beyond the human mind-- unless you are sensitive to receive information. You still may wonder, "Is it me or my imagination playing tricks on me?" The only proof at the moment is when a person consults a medium or clairvoyant who then becomes the mediator between the two spheres--physical and spiritual domains. So you can imagine the information there is roaming around in the ether and the thoughts waiting to be heard. I hope this book may enlighten the reader to search for the true meaning of life beyond the physical boundaries and come to some conclusion that we are immortal beings and that there is no death.

We now come to the many reasons we are here on this material plane of existence. What is the purpose behind this state of affairs? Why are we here? Some schools of thought suggest we are here, bringing into this life experiences from previous ones to add to our memories and lifestyle, making a better realization. These thoughts from the past enter into the subconscious mind, laying dormant till activated by some trigger mechanism, bringing a source of knowledge and wisdom. But this in reality doesnt give us the whole meaning to lifes meaning and its persistent enquiries to the purpose being on this earth plane. Some more thoughts on abstract phenomena.

Previous research on Joseph Urban (1872-1933) has focused on his architectural career; yet after moving from Vienna to the U.S. in 1912, he devoted much of his energies to the stage, especially productions for the Metropolitan Opera and the Ziegfeld Follies. A seminal figure in the history of American theater, he introduced to the U.S. the sophistication of European developments in stage design, experiments with lighting, and painterly effects which paralleled developments in modernist literature, painting, and dance. Architect of Dreams documents more than 100 finely rendered watercolors, photographs, and three-dimensional stage models. Arnold Aronson (professor of theatre arts at Columbia University) contributes a major essay. In other essays, Derek E. Ostergard contextualizes Urban''s architecture, and Matthew Wilson Smith examines Urban''s work in film.

Doxology: a journal of worship and the sacramental life, Volume 32.1 (Lent-Easter 2021) Founded in 1984, Doxology: a journal of worship and the sacramental life is a quarterly, peer reviewed journal published by the Order of Saint Luke (OSL Publications). It focuses on emerging and historical theologies and practices of Christian worship. Print distribution is to the members of the Order globally, as well as to a number of theology departments and seminary libraries in the United States. Doxology also continues the tradition of the journal Sacramental Life, which merged with Doxology in 2020.

This book is about the life and times of Richard Congreve. This polemicist was the first thinker to gain instant infamy for publishing cogent critiques of imperialism in Victorian Britain. As the foremost British acolyte of Auguste Comte, Congreve sought to employ the philosopher’s new science of sociology to dismantle the British Empire. With an aim to realise in its place Comte’s global vision of utopian socialist republican city-states, the former Oxford don and ex-Anglican minister launched his Church of Humanity in 1859. Over the next forty years, Congreve engaged in some of the most pressing foreign and domestic controversies of his day, despite facing fierce personal attacks in the Victorian press. Congreve made overlooked contributions to the history of science, political economy, and secular ethics. In this book Matthew Wilson argues that Congreve’s polemics, ‘in the name of Humanity’, served as the devotional practices of his Positivist church.

"This study constitutes the first-ever definitive account of the life and work of Irish modernist poets Thomas MacGreevy, Brian Coffey, and Denis Devlin. Apprenticed to the likes of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett, all three writers worked at the center of modernist letters in England, France, and the United States, but did so from a distinctive perspective. All three writers wrote with a deep commitment to the intellectual life of Catholicism and saw the new movement in the arts as making possible for the first time a rich sacramental expression of the divine beauty in aesthetic form"--
