Creature, Creator and Creation


Book Description

Life is your faithful servant, but if not subdued it can become a terrible master. It all depends on whether you're being a creature of creation, or if you are only reacting to creation. One creates an ideal desire, while the other perpetuates unwanted life events. This book will interpret the story of creation, which is the life changing truth for all.The beginning you read about was only a development and was not necessarily a commencement. It was the beginning of time and the creation of matter; but it wasn't the origin of life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, from which mankind now seeks redemption. Creation is a replicable process, that is being performed by you in ways you're not even aware of. Inside these chapters, you will discover the answer to many of life's questions, including those of life itself. Some have the knowledge while others have the understanding; both are the forebearer of wisdom.The YouManual is a metaphysical arbiter, a non-fictional series of books to help you better understand your own Being. It is believed that if you can master yourself, you can create your own destiny. Why allow your future to be determined by fate, leave nothing to chance. You have everything you will ever need present inside you to create, because you too are a creator.The thoughts presented are reflective of the scriptures, not as physical actions but your own mental states; but remains aligned with its motivated purpose. To have knowledge of what is, what was and what will be; will allow you to better understand the visible world and the world that is not yet made visible. We can only comprehend within the limits of our thoughts, and discuss amidst what the adequacy of our language permits. But your ability to perceive doesn't determine all that is, and this will open your mind and excite your body. Knowledge is infinite, what you know to be true is only true to the extent of the knowledge that you have. What you now know may be right, but what you don't know about it could also make it wrong. What good is having knowledge if you lack the understanding of what it is, and what value is it to understand if you don't have the knowledge to know what it means. To have both is wisdom, and in that is the truth that will set you free.

Imputation of the Active Obedience of Christ in the Westminster Standards


Book Description

George Eliot, Judaism and the Novels


Book Description

This is the first study to argue that Jewish Mysticism influenced all Eliot's novels and not just her Jewish novel, Daniel Deronda , and leaves the reader with a very different George Eliot from that assumed by most previous criticism. Though previous studies have attempted to qualify the still-dominant view that George Eliot is firmly as part of the realistic tradition, this study goes further by demonstrating that a cohesive mythic structure with its basis in Jewish mysticism is identifiable in her fiction. Providing helpful background and factual information about the Golem and other aspects of Kabbalah, this work will appeal to anyone interested in the myth of the Golem, the re-writing of Victorian culture from a Judaic perspective, and George Eliot studies in general.
