In this meditation on religion and science, Lightman explores the tension between our yearning for permanence and certainty, and the modern scientific discoveries that demonstrate the impermanent and uncertain nature of the world. As a physicist, he has always held a scientific view of the world. But one summer evening, while looking at the stars from a small boat at sea he was overcome by the sensation that he was merging with a grand and eternal unity, a hint of something absolute and immaterial. This is his exploration of these seemingly contradictory impulses, and the journey along the different paths of religion and science that become part of his quest. -- adapted from publisher info.

Photographer and teacher Brenda Tharp marries photography craft with artistic vision to help intermediate photographers translate what they see into a personal impression of a subject in nature. Using single images, along with before-and-after and with-or-without examples, Expressive Nature Photography teaches how to make exposures that are creative, not necessarily correct. Inspiring photographers to get out early and stay out late, this book explains how to use light, an essential element of outdoor photography. Readers will learn how to “see in the dark,” use filters to create very long exposures, create a natural effect using light painting, photograph night skies and moonlit landscapes, and make the best use of available natural light. This book also covers how to use shutter speeds to express motion and capture the energy of fast-moving subjects, such rushing streams, ocean swells, and bounding wildlife. A chapter on the art of visual flow discusses how to create compositions that direct the viewer's eye through the frame for maximum impact. Photographers will develop a sense of when to break the "rules" of composition, how to use elements to frame subjects, what to include and exclude in the frame, how to create the feeling of depth and dimension in a scene, and how to push the boundaries of composition to make memorable nature images that capture and convey fresh viewpoints. High-tech cameras can help create a good exposure and focused image, but they can't replace the artist's eye for composition, visual depth, and design, nor their instinct for knowing when to click the shutter. There are many books on photography technique focused on technical quality, but Expressive Nature Photography goes beyond the technical. It guides the way to pulling emotion and meaning out of a dynamic landscape, a delicate macro study, or an outstanding nighttime image.

We live in a painful, chaotic world that grows more erratic and polarizing by the day. This reality is full of wounding, chakra imbalances, karma, and illness swept under the rug, “dumped” into the recesses of the subconscious mind -- or body, never to be acknowledged again. But there is a place deep inside of you that questions what is real. There is some strong resonant chord that feels the truth despite being talked out of it. This chord of truth has never gone away, despite everyone’s best efforts. How to Become Intuitive is a groundbreaking, heart-centered, step-by-step guide that teaches the reader to access and trust her first instinct. It illuminates the historical and spiritual control dynamics that have kept humans from trusting their intuition, and how to become whole, divine beings able to perceive truth once again. You will learn the hidden reasons you have never fully trusted yourself -- or been allowed to. You will learn the psychology behind the oddities you have observed and felt. You will understand the battle between good and evil that is taking place before our very eyes but that most are asleep to. You will also discover the inter-connectedness between your subconscious feelings, observations, and experiences, and the fifth-dimensional, metaphysical translation of such occurrences. Not only will you learn to liberate and heal yourself from all past and present falsehoods that have kept you imprisoned and sick, you will also learn to “read” yourself and others for the spiritual meaning behind human behavior and appearance, illness, historical events, and supernatural and astrological phenomena that surround us daily. By tapping into your intuition once and for all, you become the person you were born to be and self-actualize to your greatest potential to heal yourself, others, and the world.

Rudolf Steiner shows how deeply and intimately human beings, the microcosm, are related to the macrocosm. But for Steiner the macrocosm is more than just the physical universe. It includes many hidden realms – like the world of Elements and the world of Archetypes – which lie behind outer manifestations such as our physical body. The macrocosm works within us continuously – in the daily alternation between sleeping and waking and in the great cyclical interchange between incarnation on earth and our time between death and rebirth. Steiner discusses the various paths of self-development that lead across the threshold to spiritual dimensions, transforming human soul-forces into organs of higher perception. In future we will even have the capacity to evolve a form of thinking that is higher than the intellect – the thinking of the heart. In this classic series of lectures, now retranslated and featuring a previously-unavailable public address, Rudolf Steiner also discusses: the planets and their connection with our sleeping and waking life; the inner path of the mystic; the ‘greater’ and ‘lesser’ guardians of the threshold; the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis; initiation in the Northern mysteries; The four spheres of the higher worlds; mirror-images of the macrocosm in man; the strengthening powers of sleep; the symbol of the Rose Cross; reading the Akashic Record; four-dimensional space; the development of future human capacities, and much more. The volume includes an introduction, notes and index.
