Faith Beyond Mere Belief is the culmination of thirty years of theological study. In it, the author presents a thought provoking approach to faith that is particularly appealing to those who are not inspired by either evangelical eagerness or orthodox doctrinal creeds. While the book draws upon the work of many of the twentieth century's most noted theologians, the author presents concepts in an unpretentious style that avoids the obscure language that often puts such material beyond the interest of a non-academic audience. Personal examples enrich and clarify the text. The author insightfully intertwines scripture throughout the book to illustrate and interpret concepts within a historical Christian framework. Faith Beyond Mere Belief provides an approach to faith that is challenging, going beyond the acceptance of a set of religious beliefs to develop a basis for faith that fully integrates body, mind and spirit for service to God and humanity.

The activity of the Sun, the Moon, the stars and all the heavenly bodies exert tremendous influence on the soul of man regardless of whether he realises it or not. From this point of view all heavenly bodies represent a great Divine world. All together represent the intelligent worlds. We see only the outside, but not inside where lies all the glory. Each solar system in a certain degree represents intelligence. All solar systems, as well as ours, in turn, represent a group of systems. The whole space has the shape of a man and the smallest particle corresponds to the relevant part of this great, great body. Famous stars of the Milky Way, or any constellation, or entire systems can talk with you, wherever you are. They have stations in your brain. If you know their language every day you can hear a story from the Sun, from a planet, from a star. All the planets have their purpose. On them live advanced beings. They are more advanced in age and in wisdom than us, because they have emerged from God much earlier than us. Their wisdom is so great that the culture of the modern world, in comparison with the culture of Sirius is in its infancy. One day, when our solar system will finish its development, it will go the way of Sirius and then we will have completely different conceptions of things. The planets, in general the heavenly bodies, are centres out of which go enormous energies in all directions and on this is based their importance. There are special situations, where important moments in life are determined by the position of the planets, the Sun and the stars.

Modern people say that man should feed with varied food to live. It is true that man should eat, but what to eat? If it concerns the bee, it feeds with honey. The wolf feeds with meat, the sheep - with grass. What with feeds man? Nature has strictly defined who with what should feed himself. To man it has defined to feed with fresh pure food, which is difficult to decompose. The cuisine of modern people is unnatural. It has deviated from natural cuisine and as a result people are exposed to various diseases and sufferings. One day when they get in touch with rational nature and obey its laws it will give to each living creature whatever the creature wishes. Nature knows how to give and how to satisfy the wishes of all living creatures. There is a law in nature stating that if someone wants something nature satisfies his wish.

Get a Free Catalog of more similar titles at www.StrongmanBooks.com The Way to Live by George Hackenschmidt is one of the classic, and often quoted, books in any physical culturists library. The Russian Lion as he came to be known, or Hack, was a phenomenal strongman and wrestler. This book really comes in two parts, first the instructional, then the biographical and we'll deal with each in turn. Hack was a all around strongmen as exemplified by his weightlifting feats and wrestling prowess. All of this required not only strength but agility and speed. One of the feats mentioned early in the book was turning a forward somersault with a pair of 50 lb. dumbbells in his hands. That sounds like something fun to try! I. Introduction II. Why Should we be Strong? III. Adaptability and Characteristics IV. Physical Perfection and Strength V. Nutrition VI. Rest and Wholesome Sleep VII. Training VIII. Exercise without Weights IX. Muscle Exercises with Weights X. Weights for Exercises XI. Exercises for Athletes XII. Time Tables for Training XIII. Dr. von Krajewski, the Father of Athletics and his System of Life XIV. The Story of My Life Here are a few select quotes you'll find inside. "Health can never be divorced from strength." "I have come to the distinct conclusion, that the physical constitution of the human frame never was intended merely for study, but rather for manual and bodily exercise. I have found that those who have lived an active outdoor life have retained and enjoyed brightness born of health far longer than others." "Never on any account continue the exercises until exhaustion sets in and always relax your muscles afterwards." "Man is a creature of light and air, and I should therefore recommend little or no clothing when training." "As a principal rule I should stipulate for regularity of training." This is the only book ever written by Hackenschmidt. I guess with a title like The Way to Live he felt he have taught within a single volume all he needed to teach.

The novel begins on a beautiful summer day with Lord Henry Wotton, a strongly-opinionated man, observing the sensitive artist Basil Hallward painting the portrait of a handsome young man named Dorian Gray, who is Basil's ultimate muse. After hearing Lord Henry's world view, Dorian begins to think beauty is the only worthwhile aspect of life. He wishes that the portrait Basil painted would grow old in his place. Under the influence of Lord Henry (who relishes the hedonic lifestyle and is a major exponent thereof), Dorian begins to explore his senses. He discovers amazing actress Sibyl Vane, who performs Shakespeare plays in a dingy theatre. Dorian approaches her and soon proposes marriage. Sibyl, who refers to him as "Prince Charming", swoons with happiness, but her protective brother James tells her that if "Prince Charming" harms her, he will certainly kill him. Dorian invites Basil and Lord Henry to see Sibyl perform in Romeo and Juliet. Sibyl, whose only knowledge of love was love of theatre, casts aside her acting abilities through the experience of true love with Dorian. Disheartened, Dorian rejects her, saying her beauty was in her acting, and he is no longer interested in her. When he returns home, he notices that his portrait has changed. Dorian realises his wish has come true - the portrait now bears a subtle sneer and will age with each sin he commits, while his own appearance remains unchanged.

The book includes 5 lectures, delivered in 1914 by the Bulgarian spiritual Teacher Beinsa Duno (1864-1944). According to Beinsa Duno, 1914 is a memorable year in the history of the Earth. It marks the beginning of e new cosmic cycle on Earth, in which new conditions emerge for great spiritual impulses to arise and give an impetus to the progress of humankind for thousands of years to come. Such impetuses reveal the Cosmic Plan in new and unique ways and manifest through major positive changes in Intelligent Nature. In the course of 50 years the Master Beinsa Duno held about 4,000 lectures. All aspects of human life: personal, family and social, in relation both to the spiritual and physical, to the mundane and transcendental in the various fields of science, religion and art have been illuminated by Beinsa Duno and introduce the readers of his books to a way of modern spirituality. It includes new care of our health, that we can learn from Nature, a new experience of music and sacred dance (Paneurhythmy), insights into basic laws of human life, a new vision of educating children, an awareness of the gifts of Love, and the way to work for a new social order that is based upon this Love. The greatest purpose of his lectures and talks is to give directions and methods for establishing a new culture on Earth in the new cosmic cycle. Beinsa Duno is speaking from a long spiritual tradition of a country that has brought forth two other mystical Schools in the past: the Schools of Orpheus (which led to Pythagoreanism and Platonism) and the 10th century Bogomils (known also as Cathars, considered to be the spiritual force behind the Western Europe Renaissance).

A step-by-step gentle journey through the mathematics of neural networks, and making your own using the Python computer language. Neural networks are a key element of deep learning and artificial intelligence, which today is capable of some truly impressive feats. Yet too few really understand how neural networks actually work. This guide will take you on a fun and unhurried journey, starting from very simple ideas, and gradually building up an understanding of how neural networks work. You won't need any mathematics beyond secondary school, and an accessible introduction to calculus is also included. The ambition of this guide is to make neural networks as accessible as possible to as many readers as possible - there are enough texts for advanced readers already! You'll learn to code in Python and make your own neural network, teaching it to recognise human handwritten numbers, and performing as well as professionally developed networks. Part 1 is about ideas. We introduce the mathematical ideas underlying the neural networks, gently with lots of illustrations and examples. Part 2 is practical. We introduce the popular and easy to learn Python programming language, and gradually builds up a neural network which can learn to recognise human handwritten numbers, easily getting it to perform as well as networks made by professionals. Part 3 extends these ideas further. We push the performance of our neural network to an industry leading 98% using only simple ideas and code, test the network on your own handwriting, take a privileged peek inside the mysterious mind of a neural network, and even get it all working on a Raspberry Pi. All the code in this has been tested to work on a Raspberry Pi Zero.

This book will guide you step-by-step through the process of building three low temperature differential (LTD) Stirling Engines for less than $30 each. Two of them are efficient enough to run from the heat of your hand. And all three of them can be built using common hand tools with material available at your local hardware store and hobby shop.The hot air engine (aka: "Stirling engine") has been around for a very long time. Interest in the technology has been revived in recent years by those exploring new methods for producing "Green Energy." An LTD Stirling engine is efficient enough to run from the waste heat that is discharged from other appliances or from the warmth of direct sunlight. The most efficient of these will run from the heat of your hand.Until now, if you wanted to build your own heat of the hand Stirling Engine you had to either spend several hundred dollars for an expensive kit or you needed access to a precision machine shop. This book breaks both those barriers for you. Now you can build your own working models that will run from the heat of your hand, without the aid of a machine shop.Whether you are a student looking for a winning science fair project, or just a home hobbyist looking for a fun project, you will find this book to be a helpful guide in creating your own LTD Stirling engines. You will find detailed instructions, tips on finding parts, and over 130 illustrations to help you recreate Jim Larsen's original designs for these highly efficient small models.
