Fallen in With Shadows : a Novella: A Novella

By: By Kevin Wade Johnson

An adventure tale of a young man, bereft of close family, who falls out of the world he was born in and into one of a series of parallel worlds, followed by a shadow whose touch he fears and flees

(Lightly edited for spoilers) Snow falling through skeletal tree limbs above and around, my skis coming down on a mountain slope, and I could just see the tips of the shadow's fingers above as it reached over top of my head from behind me. The skis saved us. We went rocketing down the steep slope, just before the shadows that emerged with us could take hold. I "knew" how to ski, but Serenity really did know, and shot off ahead of me. I couldn't give anything too m...

White Masques

By: By Ian Mullins

I'm a full time carer now, but I spent most of the first lockdown riding a bus down deserted roads to a busy hospital in Liverpool England, where I worked as a clerk. Most of these poems were scribbled on the way, or during lunchtimes, and other quiet moments. I wrote what I saw, and imagined the rest.

Évolution et éthique de l'eugénisme

By: by Nicolae Sfetcu; Nicolae Sfetcu

Étant donné la définition de l'eugénisme, il est très difficile d'établir une distinction claire entre la science (médecine, ingénierie génétique) et l'eugénisme en tant que domaine inclus. Et pour définir une ligne sur laquelle l'ingénierie génétique ne devrait pas aller plus loin, conformément aux normes morales, juridiques et religieuses. Si nous acceptons l'aide de la génétique pour trouver des moyens de lutter contre le cancer, le diabète ou le VIH, nous acceptons é...

Dans cet article, j'essaie de faire valoir que, étant donné la définition de l'eugénisme, il est très difficile d'établir une distinction claire entre la science (médecine, ingénierie génétique) et l'eugénisme en tant que domaine inclus. Et pour définir une ligne sur laquelle l'ingénierie génétique ne devrait pas aller plus loin, conformément aux normes morales, juridiques et religieuses.

The Human Atmosphere : the Aura Made Visible By the Aid of Chemica...

By: By Walter John Kilner; Jes La Pointe

This book teaches Kilner's techniques on how to learn to view the Human Aura (Atmosphere). Through homemade materials, anyone can learn how to view the Human Aura.

(Preface) The perception of the Human Atmosphere or Aura, by the sole employment of material means, at once makes the phenomenon a physical question. From the first moment of seeing the human atmosphere, I determined to investigate the subject apart from all occultism; and, to remain unbiased, did not read any accounts of the Aura until a large number (over sixty) of patients had been inspected. As all the descriptions and references to the Aura that could be found were...

Could Modi be the Ninth Avatar?

By: by BS Murthy

Then Modi, on the anti-graft and the national security planks, arrived to wrest the decade-long power from her by busting her anti-national political gang at the hustings. Backed by the public mandate, he set out to do what he could do in his first term to reverse the ant-Hindu gear in the hostile eco-system hitherto nursed by the Nehruvian cliché. So, the sight of him unfurling the Indian tricolor from the ramparts of the Mogul built Red Fort in Maharaja’s headgear was ...

However, as time passed by in the ancient past, owing to the mundane distortions in the divine discourse that the Bhagavad-Gita is, the debilitating caste biases and the irrational ritual practices became the new norm of sanatana dharma to the immense hurt of the Hindu society as argued in the writer’s free ebook Inane Interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita (An Invocation for their Revocation). So, in time, it fell upon Siddhartha, as Gautam Buddha, to negate the twin evils that...

Epistemologia Gravitației Experimentale – Raționalitatea Științifică

By: By Nicolae Sfetcu

Evoluția testelor gravitaționale dintr-o perspectivă epistemologică încadrată în conceputul de reconstrucție rațională al lui Imre Lakatos, pe baza metodologiei acestuia a programelor de cercetare. Perioada evaluată este foarte vastă, începând cu filosofia naturală a lui Newton și până la teoriile gravitației cuantice din zilele noastre. Pentru a explica mai rațional evoluția complexă a conceptului de gravitație din ultimul secol, propun o extindere naturală a metodologi...

În prezenta lucrare abordez evoluția testelor gravitaționale dintr-o perspectivă epistemologică încadrată în conceputul de reconstrucție rațională al lui Imre Lakatos, pe baza metodologiei acestuia a programelor de cercetare. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări pe aceeași temă, perioada evaluată este foarte vastă, începând cu filosofia naturală a lui Newton și până la teoriile gravitației cuantice din zilele noastre. Pentru a explica mai rațional evoluția complexă a conceptul...

See Thru Other People And Know Yourself : Relate to People Easily:...

By: by Brian Thomas

There are a couple of realities that we need to be aware of. The first is that no matter how bad a person is, there is some good in them, and no matter how good a person is, there is some bad in them. The other thing to remember, especially with friends and relatives, is we must accept them as they are, not the way we want them to be. We do not have to accept what they do, but we need to accept them.

Our happiness, our life, our fate, and even our fortune is dependent upon our relations with other people and our personal interaction with them.

Um Camerno Pessoal De Partidas De Xadrez

By: By Jorge E. Prata

Uma coleção de algumas das minhas partidas de xadrez e suas histórias.

Não encontrarão aqui partidas geniais nem qualquer inovação fracturante. Este é o meu xadrez, o xadrez de um jogador modesto, que calha, por vezes, querer escrever. Acima de tudo, gostei muito do processo de reunir, analisar e comentar estas partidas. Como se diz, recordar é viver. Por outro lado, espero, também, ter aprendido algo ao debruçar-me com maior cuidado sobre a minha prática do jogo. Logo à partida, bastam-me estes motivos para não considerar inúteis o tempo ...

By: By Vijay K. Jain

Bārasa Aņuvekkhā – ‘The Twelve Contemplations’ – of Ācārya Kundakunda (circa 1st century BC) contains 91 verses (gāthā). ‘Aņuvekkhā’, ‘aņupekkhā’, ‘anuprekşā’, and ‘bhāvanā’ are synonyms; these terms are used in Prākrit, Apabhramśa, Sanskrit and Hindi languages, respectively. Contemplation means ‘meditating on the nature of the Reality’. The uniqueness of Ācārya Kundakunda’s exposition is that he has described each contemplation both from the empirical (vyavahāra) as we...

Teorii Cauzale Ale Referinței Pentru Nume Proprii

By: By Nicolae Sfetcu; Nicolae Sfetcu

Evidențierea și compararea principalelor teorii cauzale ale referinței pentru nume proprii, și propunerea unei noi abordări pe baza analogiei lanțului cauzal al referinței cu lanțul de blocuri din tehnologia blockchain și teoria narativă a lui Paul Ricœur. După o scurtă Introducere în care trec în revistă tipurile de propoziții din conceptul de lumi posibile, și o prezentare generală a teoriei în Teoria cauzală a referinței, prezint teoria cauzală inițială a referinței p...

John Stuart Mill a susținut că numele pot fi împărțite în două tipuri: conotative și non-conotative. Numele proprii sunt singurele nume de obiecte care nu sunt conotative și nu au, în mod strict, nicio semnificație. (Mill 1882) John Searle susține că fiecare nume propriu este asociat cu un set de descrieri care determină referința. Astfel, numele denotează indirect. (John R. Searle 1958) Saul Kripke critică viziunea fregeană susținută de Searle, argumentând că numele ...

By: By Nicolae Sfetcu

Malgré les critiques de la théorie de Karl Popper sur la falsifiabilité pour la démarcation entre la science et la non-science, principalement la pseudo-science, ce critère est toujours très utile et parfaitement valide après avoir été perfectionné par Popper et ses disciples. De plus, même dans sa version originale, qualifiée de « dogmatique » par Lakatos, Popper n’a pas affirmé que cette méthode constituait un critère absolu de démarcation : un seul contre-exemple ne s...

Equality in the Comfortable and Uncomfortable (Hindi Dadavani Dec-...

By: By Dada Bhagwan; Deepakbhai Desai

When facing each and every circumstance of life, we mahatmas through the awareness of the five Agnas. However, when favorable or unfavorable circumstances appear before this prakruti the ego and intellect create a commotion within. One gets upset with the unfavorable and gets drawn in with the favorable. During comfortable circumstances, one becomes involved in pleasure-seeking because greed and deceit, meaning raag kashay, arise at that time. Absolutely revered Dadashri...
