Your Life As A Movie: Scripting and Producing Your Dreams Into Reality

Masterfully crafted 'Your Life As a Movie: Scripting and Producing Your Dreams Into Reality' equips anyone with all they need to rekindle their lost imagination, create a movie trailer of their perfect life and act it out with gusto. Francesca Banting's powerful analogy, inspired by the philosophy of Bob Proctor, provides a fun and different approach to existing Law of Attraction books that call "cut" before the main feature has a chance to actually play. Imagination is the only away to attract life's dreams, and seeing life as a movie is the perfect way to call "action". Banting's new book guides readers through each and every step of storyboarding their vision, seeing themselves in the starring role and acting out their dreams to turn them into a prosperous new existence. The book contains three sections, each running in parallel with the analogy of a movie's production. "Lights" exposes how the mind works, and how dreams form an integral part of the scripting. Section two, "Camera", empowers people to see themselves in their vision of the perfect life and section three, "Action", gives them all of the tools they need to make that vision happen by exploiting the Law of Attraction. We think in pictures, which is why we all feel an affinity with the movies. We begin by building our own studio, with the lot being our subconscious mind and the gates being our conscious realm of thinking. By having the right things in your lot, you can remove chaos and properly organize your movie bank - an analogic vault for memories of our past experiences. We then script our goals, visualize them in wardrobe and finally create our movie trailer that we will market to the entire universe. It's incredibly simple as readers walk through the entire production process step-by-step. Life tells us to pay attention, stop dreaming and quash our imagination. But, we can only attract things in life if we foster deep and bold inner passion. Most don't know how to tune into the positive frequency that will attract other positive things sharing the airwaves. We all deserve success, so bury the belief that riches and fame are greedy - you're the A-lister of your own life and deserve to live under the limelight. This book shows you how
The Hidden Servants and Other Very Old Stories

This is a collection of stories suitable for people of all ages. From the intro: "With regard to this present collection of ballads, I can tell its history in a few words. When I was a young girl many old and curious books fell into my hands and became my favourite reading (next to the Bible, and, perhaps, the Divina Commedia), as I found in them the strong faith and simple modes of thought which were what I liked and wanted. Afterwards, in my constant intercourse with the country people, and especially with old people whom I always loved, I heard a great many legends and traditions, often beautiful, often instructive, and which, as far as I knew, had never been written down. I was always in request with children for the stories which I knew and could tell, and, as I found they liked these legends, I thought it a pity they should be lost after I should have passed away, and so I always meant to write them down; all the more that I had felt the need of such reading when I was a child myself. But I never had time to write them as long as my eyes permitted me to work at my drawing, and afterwards, when I wanted to begin them, I found myself unable to write at all for more than a few minutes at once. Finally I thought of turning the stories into rhyme and learning them all by heart, so that I could write them down little by little. I thought children would not be very particular, if I could just make the dear old stories vivid and comprehensible, which I tried to do. If, as you kindly hope, they may be good for older people as well, then it must be that when the Lord took from me one faculty He gave me another; which is in no way impossible. And I think of the beautiful Italian proverb: 'When God shuts a door He opens a window.'" After such an account of the origin and growth of these poems no further comment would seem fitting, unless it be that made by Cardinal Manning when writing to Mr. Ruskin in 1883 to thank him for a copy of Francesca's Story of Ida. He writes: - "It is simply beautiful, like the Fioretti di San Francesco. Such flowers can grow in one soil alone. They can be found only in the Garden of Faith, over which the world of light hangs visibly, and is more intensely seen by the poor and the pure in heart than by the rich, or the learned, or the men of culture.
Lasciarsi andare alla vita pu portare a scoprire piaceri inconsueti e spesso inimmaginabili, ma pu anche condurre una persona a commettere sbagli da cui poi difficile tirarsi fuori. quello che successo ad Elisa, la protagonista di questo romanzo, che in un punto un po' turbolento della sua esistenza, decide di rompere con i consueti tab e lasciarsi trascinare dagli eventi.

This book offers a comprehensive reflection on the existential condition of the 21st century. A visionary introduction to existential posthumanism, it takes the form of eight meditations. This posthuman journey of self-inquiry engages with a wide range of knowledge and wisdom: from the Paleolithic times to the futures of radical life extension, from multi-species evolutions to the rights of Nature, the Anthropocene and the rise of Artificial Intelligence. The book declutters the habit of being human. Letting go of the need for anthropocentric mastery and species-specific ambitions, the reader emerges regenerated. The manifold paths of posthuman self-realization reveal that we are all co-creators in the existential unfolding: our lives are our ultimate works of art. The Art of Being Posthuman is a self-help guide to navigate our brave new world. You can listen to Dr. Ferrando talk about the book’s key themes in these videos: 1. Introduction and 2. Conclusion

Winner of The PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize 2022Shortlisted for The Wolfson History Prize 2022A The Times Books of the Year 2022Three thousand years ago, in the Southwest Asian lands we now call Israel and Palestine, a group of people worshipped a complex pantheon of deities, led by a father god called El. El had seventy children, who were gods in their own right. One of them was a minor storm deity, known as Yahweh. Yahweh had a body, a wife, offspring and colleagues. He fought monsters and mortals. He gorged on food and wine, wrote books, and took walks and naps. But he would become something far larger and far more abstract: the God of the great monotheistic religions.But as Professor Francesca Stavrakopoulou reveals, God’s cultural DNA stretches back centuries before the Bible was written, and persists in the tics and twitches of our own society, whether we are believers or not. The Bible has shaped our ideas about God and religion, but also our cultural preferences about human existence and experience; our concept of life and death; our attitude to sex and gender; our habits of eating and drinking; our understanding of history. Examining God’s body, from his head to his hands, feet and genitals, she shows how the Western idea of God developed. She explores the places and artefacts that shaped our view of this singular God and the ancient religions and societies of the biblical world. And in doing so she analyses not only the origins of our oldest monotheistic religions, but also the origins of Western culture.Beautifully written, passionately argued and frequently controversial, God: An Anatomy is cultural history on a grand scale.'Rivetingly fresh and stunning' – Sunday Times'One of the most remarkable historians and communicators working today' – Dan Snow
