Civilization: A Saga Toward Human Overcoming
Massware Maharishi
Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Based on true events, the story told on Civilization runs around the Catholic Theologian St Thomas Aquinas. On his last days, St Thomas had a mystical ecstasy, and after that, NOTHING more wrote. Asked why acted so, explains that, after all trues that GOD showed to him during ecstasy, all Catholic theology and Aristotelian philosophy became like straw, a complete nonsense. Bullshit. On Civilization, Massware Maharishi show us what St Thomas saw... Civilization is an spiritualist novel that sets up a scientific, philosophical and theological system, able to show us a plausible meaning for the existence phenomenon. It is a Metaphysical Cosmogony. Armed with scientific knowledge, philosophical concepts and spiritual savvy, from an advanced theology, Civilization answers - boldly - the major humanity questions: Who are we? Where came we from? Where are we going? Why is there Anything instead of Nothing? Is there a GOD? What or who is HE? What is HIS purpose? And last, but not least, why young people admire, so much, superheroes? The reader may not like the answers given here, but he can not, with good and valid arguments, refute them. So, Civilization lists many hypotheses that can not be proved false, but if we just accept them, not as true, but as valid answers, much of the meaning of existence can be unveiled. Finalizing, this spiritual vision opens up an all brand new media thematic to be explored on the age that approaches. Are not we TIRED from these same ever plot scenery? To kill To kill To kill? There is not DEATH So, what really happens? Civilization explains... Good reading
Civilization, Beyond Our Fall explores the realities behind the rise and fall of historic civilizational ideals, especially on the fate of the Western vision. The book begins with the rise, durability, and fall of the historic civilizational profiles of humankind. It continues with the decline of the West, which from our perspective began with World War I and has continued at a faster pace in the 21st century. Itzkoff's prognosis for the next century or two is one of a dismal world of chaos, war, and deep pessimism throughout the world. The book concludes with a prediction of a world of scientific rationalism that will discard the ideologies, irrationalism, and selfishness that now characterize our elites. Here we leave dystopian realities for the perennial human hope of reason and for highly creative communities.

The modern world is wondrous. Its factories produce ten thousand cars every hour and ten trillion transistors every second. We carry supercomputers in our pockets, and nearly a million people are in the air at any time. In Civilization Critical, Darrin Qualman takes readers on a tour of the wonders of the 21st century.But the great strength of our modern word is also its great weakness. Our immense powers to turn resources and nature into products and waste imperil our future. And plans to double and redouble the size of the global economy veto sustainability.So, is our civilization doomed? No. Doom is a choice. We can make different choices.Qualman demonstrates that a 19th- and 20th-century transition to linear systems and away from the circular patterns of nature (and of all previous civilizations) is the foundational error-the underlying problem, the root cause of climate change, resource depletion, ocean's full of plastics, and a host of mega-problems now intensifying and merging, with potentially civilization-cracking results. In this sweeping work, Qualman reinterprets and re-explains the problems we face today, and charts a clear, hopeful path into the future.
Civilization and war were born around the same time in roughly the same place they have effectively grown up together. This challenges the belief that the more civilized we become, the less likely the resort to war in order to resolve differences and disputes. The related assumption that civilized societies are more likely to abide by the rules of war is also in dispute. Where does terrorism fit into debates about civilized and savage war? What are we to make of talk about an impending 'clash of civilizations'? In a succinct yet wide ranging survey of history and of ideas that calls in to question a number of conventional wisdoms, Civilization and War explores these issues and more whilst outlining the two-way relationship between civilization and war.Providing an alternative perspective to conventional thinking, this book will appeal to a wide interdisciplinary audience across all regions of the globe. The material is both original and highly topical and is written in a sharp, snappy style that makes it accessible to a wide readership, including upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, academic specialists and informed general readers. Civilization and War makes important contributions to the fields of international relations, peace and conflict studies, political theory and the history of ideas, and will be of interest to people with a curiosity about world history and current affairs.

Every age and every culture produce their own particular set of ‘False Gods’ and their associated narratives. Each of these ‘False Gods’ is supported by a whole range of sub-mythologies and ideological delusions that seek to justify, rationalise and normalise the worship of the particular ‘False God’. Setting out to identify Seven of the ‘False Gods’ of modernity, Civilization 21 opens a Pandora’s Box of alternative narratives that challenge the evolving norms of twenty-first century mythologies and delusions. From science to individualism, and progressiveness to human exceptionalism, these modernised mythologies and their associated delusions are fundamental to the structures of our perceived realities. All historical civilizations seem to follow a similar pattern; structured to have a beginning, middle and end. While this may not be an iron law of history, there is no guarantee that our First Global Techno-Scientific Civilization will not follow a similar pattern. In this analysis the end could be near, or we could be on the precipice of unprecedented cultural and ethical progress. Only time will tell.

He has also served in parish ministry for fourteen years and has been bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America since 2006.The essays in this volume focus on the relationship between Virtue and the establishment of a civilization and draw on the wisdom of philosophers, scientists and theologians of over twenty centuries to address the issues of expanding human civilization beyond the confines of Earth.
This is the amazing story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard - an ancient unit of linear measurement - led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One. Knight and Butler reveal the secrets of an extraordinary integrated measuring system which might have been lost to the world for ever. It was a system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and Metric measure systems! These ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun - they measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. Their conclusions fly in the face of everything that we thought we knew about the origins of the modern world - but the evidence is incontrovertible. And the implications of these revelations go far beyond the fascination of the discovery of a 'super-science' of prehistory; they indicate a grand plan which will have far reaching theological ramifications!
