Technology, Innovation and Creativity in Digital Society


Book Description

This book requires an interdisciplinary understanding of creativity, ideal for the formation of a digital public culture. Educating students, young professionals and future engineers is to develop their capacity for creativity. Can creativity be learned? With this question, the relations of technology and art appear in a new light. Especially the notion of "progress" takes on a new meaning and must be distinguished from innovation. The discussion of particular educational approaches, the exploration of digital technologies and the presentation of best practice examples conclude the book. University teachers show how the teaching of creativity reinforces the teaching of other subjects, especially foreign languages.




Awakening Exercises!


Book Description

This is to introduce the first series of awakening exercises, as interpreted from the writings of G. I. Gurdjieff and P. D. Ouspensky. These exercises have been used for many years by the Fourth Way Group, meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico: the Institute for the Harmonious Development of the Human Being. Perhaps we have learned the terminology, the buzz words, but dont have the ability to connect the pieces of the puzzle to truly understand. More specifically, we have too much information for our formatory apparatus to properly handle. I have written this book as another tool to help us to bridge the gap between having information and the possibility for real understanding. So if my efforts provide new understandings, wonderful. If the Awakening Exercises helps one to develop self-observation, fantastic! With practice and time, it is my hope that this book will lead you to the first stages of your real awakening and, in due time, to the possibility to remain in that state!

Jesus Christ - Quantum Physicist


Book Description

Does modern natural science suggest the existence of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit? How can we explain eternity and Heaven? Who is the Holy Spirit? Physicist Dirk Schneider beckons his readers to follow him on an enthralling journey of discovery over the course of which he comes up with an entirely new theory. In order to be able to explain the world we live in from the perspective of quantum physics, the existence of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is apparently a necessity. Schneider's analysis uncovers surprising and easy-to-understand congruencies between the results of physics experiments and statements made in the Bible. What's more: the phenomena of quantum physics are easier to understand with the assistance of Biblical statements than they are without the Bible. Table of Contents 1. A long nightmare begins 2. A case of hay fever changes the fate of the world 3. How to alter the course of the past 4. What does "eternity" mean? 5. Why New York is a neighboring city of San Francisco 6. What is omnipresence? 7. The most magnificent experiment of all times 8. What do the terms "God" and "Heaven" mean? 9. Does the moon exist even if no one is looking? 10. The secret of the Holy Spirit 11. Jesus Christ-the Son of God

God and the New Physics

The Yugas


Book Description

Millions are wondering what the future holds for mankind, and if we are soon due for a world-changing global shift. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. Over one hundred years ago Yukteswar predicted that we would live in a time of extraordinary change, and that much that we believe to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world — would be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, authors Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar’s and Yogananda’s revelations.
