Dennis Wier has been studying, teaching and experimenting with trance for over 35 years. Some of his investigations have wide-reaching implications in the areas of religion, politics, psychology and self-improvement. For Wier, the study of trance includes not only meditation, hypnosis, addictions, charisma, magic and altered states of consciousness, but also includes electronic mind-control techniques and the ethical questions these practices raise. Trance is scary for many people because they do not know much about it. The Way of the Trance takes much of this fear away by introducing a model for trance and using that model to describe meditation, hypnosis, addiction and charisma. Electronically induced trance and the ethics of trance, trance abuse, trance music, ecstatic trance and the mysticism of trance are also discussed. This is a practical book for the curious as well as long-time meditators, yogis, hypnotists, artists and researchers of consciousness. Addiction counselors will discover new ways to help clients break the patterns of compulsive behaviors and addictions through the application of the trance model. There are exercises and questions for study groups. Author Bio: Dennis Wier believes that when trances are practiced willingly with loving compassion, it can be a powerful source of healing, inspiration and self-realization. The main goal of his book is to promote "trance awareness" on a personal level through the practice of meditation. The author lives in Northern California.  Right Reverend Henry Whitehead, "The Village Gods of South India" English | ISBN: 1981234411 | 2017 | 104 pages | EPUB | 2 MB THE purpose of this series of small volumes on the leading forms which religious life has taken in India is to produce really reliable information for the use of all who are seeking the welfare of India. Editor and writers alike desire to work in the spirit of the best modern science, looking only for the truth. But, while doing so and seeking to bring to the interpretation of the systems under review such imagination and sympathy as characterize the best study in the domain of religion to¬day, they believe they are able to shed on their work fresh light drawn from the close religious intercourse which they have each had with the people who live by the faith herein described; and their study of the relevant literature has in every instance been largely supplemented by persistent questioning of those likely to be able to give information. In each case the religion described is brought into relation with Christianity. It is believed that all readers in India at least will recognize the value of this practical method of bringing out the salient features of Indian religious life.,)  Rachel Kowert, "The Video Game Debate 2 " English | ISBN: 0367366940 | 2020 | 130 pages | EPUB | 586 KB This student-friendly book provides an accessible overview of the primary debates about the effects of video games.

Lynda Lytle Holmstrom, "The Victim of Rape: Institutional Reactions" English | ISBN: 1138539376 | 2017 | 334 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This unprecedented in-depth account of how our major institutions respond to the crime of rape is the first empirical study of rape victims in the United States as they come into contact with those who staff our police stations, hospitals, and courthouses. As this engrossing study makes clear, rape does not end with the assailant's departure; the profound suffering of the victim can be diminished or heightened by the response of these institutions.  Anne S. Douds, "The Veterans Treatment Court Movement: Striving to Serve Those Who Served " English | ISBN: 1138393746 | 2018 | 144 pages | EPUB | 614 KB The Veterans Treatment Court Movement provides a comprehensive, empirical analysis of the burgeoning veteran's court movement from genesis through to operation, and concluding with comments on its societal relevance. Beginning with the unlikely convergence of therapeutic jurisprudence with the oft-misunderstood warrior ethos that undergirds the entire movement, the text examines every component of veterans courts, weighing the cultural, legal, and practical strengths and limitations of these programs. Each chapter assesses key components of the court, including the participants, law enforcement, judges, prosecution, defense counsel, court administration, data management, the Veterans Justice Outreach Officer (VJO), probation, mentors, and the community. The book concludes with recommendations on how these courts can further integrate with communities, maximize efficiency, and improve.  The Trouble with Marriage: Feminists Confront Law and Violence in India By Srimati Basu 2015 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0520282442 | PDF | 4 MB The Trouble with Marriage is part of a new global feminist jurisprudence around marriage and violence that looks to law as strategy rather than solution. In this ethnography of lawyer-free family courts and mediations of rape and domestic violence charges in India, Srimati Basu depicts everyday life in legal sites of marital trouble, reevaluating feminist theories of law, marriage, violence, property, and the state. Basu argues that alternative dispute resolution, originally designed to empower women in a less adversarial legal environment, has created new subjectivities, but, paradoxically, has also reinforced oppressive socioeconomic norms that leave women no better off, individually or collectively.  Professor Jeffrey J. Kripal, "The Superhumanities: Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities" English | ISBN: 0226820246 | 2022 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB A bold challenge to rethink the humanities as intimately connected to the superhuman and to "decolonize reality itself."  Amal Alamuddin, "The Special Tribunal for Lebanon: Law and Practice " English | ISBN: 0199687455 | 2014 | 352 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book provides a full analytical overview of the establishment and functioning of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the newest and most controversial of the UN-sponsored international criminal courts. In 2005, Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri was assassinated in a huge blast that reverberated across Lebanon and the region. The Tribunal was established with a mandate to try the perpetrators of the Hariri killing, as well as those responsible for other killings that are 'connected' to this core crime. Individuals associated with the Hezbollah group have been indicted to be tried in the court in The Hague-but in their absence as their locations are unknown.  The Soul of A Leader: Finding Your Path to Success and Fulfillment by Margaret Benefiel English | September 1, 2008 | ISBN: 0824524802 | 192 pages | PDF | 1.23 Mb Demonstrating the principle that soulfulness at work is a way of being and doing, this guide provides new perspectives on the qualities of leadership. Three main sections elaborate on the themes of choosing the path, staying on track, and persevering to the end. Drawing from interviews with outstanding leaders-including Tom and Kate Chappell, the founders of Tom's of Maine; Bob Glassman, co-chairman of Wainwright Bank & Trust; Desmond Tutu; and The Edge of rock band U2-and supported with guided questions in each section, this book is an essential addition to the bookshelf of anyone who wants to lead with soul. In an environment where leaders are rewarded for their drive, decisiveness, productivity, and long work hours, the spiritual well-being of a leader may get short shrift, and harm can come to both the leader and the organization this individual serves. Challenging the assumptions that effective leaders must sell their souls, cut corners, cook the books, and let go of their vision, a new model of spiritual leadership is offered. Teachers, parents, committee chair leaders, and other individuals in organizations of any size are exhorted to aim higher and lead with soul in any sphere, large or small. |
