They will not, therefore, isolate the individual involved, but instead will enlarge his perceptions until he will experience the reality and uniqueness of as many other aspects of reality of which he is capable. ![]() All personal contact with the multidimensional God, all legitimate moments of mystic consciousness, will always have a unifying effect. The other method is to realize that this primary motive force has a reality independent of its connection with the world of appearances.

The story is set in a far, distant future, one so incredibly distant that the Sun has burned out, as have in fact all stars in the sky. The Night Land is one of Hodgson’s handful of novels, and is worth a mention not just because of its haunting imagery but also because its premise is relevant to an overarching theme of the weird fiction of the early 1900’s. I remember seeing this film numerous times on Sunday morning ‘Creature Features’. ![]() This tale was much later adapted into the Japanese horror movie Matango, more commonly known as The Attack of the Mushroom People. The story The Voice in the Night, for instance, concerns a couple shipwrecked on an island whose only occupant is a corrupting fungus. He wrote numerous short stories about the sea and its horrors. Hodgson (1877-1918) was a colorful character who turned to weird fiction late in life after, among other things, working as a sailor. One of these is William Hope Hodgson’s The Night Land. There are a number of classic works of weird fantasy and horror which have been lost from the mainstream but are well worth a look. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dazai called him "a man who has no ulterior motive". ![]() Nevertheless, when furious, he showed amazing and strong fighting skills that Dazai had warned Akutagawa about. He had a nice temper, and so, was one of the few persons in the mafia who seldom killed. Oda was a man described as kind, despite working for the mafia, by Dazai. Yukichi Fukuzawa also noted that his eyes were "frighteningly vacant" and almost devoid of any emotion. He also wielded holsters where he kept two old pistols, his signature weapons during his assassination missions. In his younger years when he worked as an assassin, Oda once wore a navy collared shirt, work pants, and leather shoes. Oda also occasionally donned a bulletproof vest beneath his shirt, particularly during his combat-related endeavors. His pants were pale grey, whilst his shoes were light brown. ![]() ![]() His attire consisted of a black-and-white pinstriped collared shirt that he wore loosely, whose collar covers part of a long-sleeved beige-brown Kevlar-woven coat with brown buttons on the cuffs.

Many of today's evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they've read John Eldredge's Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex-and they have a silver ring to prove it. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism-or in the words of one modern chaplain, with "a spiritual badass."Īs acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. ![]() ![]() The "paradigm-influencing" book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. ![]() ![]() Rousseau was brought up first by his father (Issac) and an aunt (his mother died a few days after his birth), and later and by an uncle. ![]() Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 – 1778) was born in Geneva (June 28) but became famous as a ‘French’ political philosopher and educationalist. His book Émile was the most significant book on education after Plato’s Republic, and his other work had a profound impact on political theory and practice, romanticism and the development of the novel (Wokler 1995: 1). Drawing from a broad spectrum of traditions including botany, music and philosophy, his thinking has influenced subsequent generations of educational thinkers – and permeates the practice of informal educators. What can such a man offer educators? The answer is that his work offers great insight. At times he found living among people difficult, preferring the solitary life. Apparently unable to bring up his own children, he committed them to orphanages soon after birth. Why should those concerned with education study Rousseau? He had an unusual childhood with no formal education. We explore Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s life and contribution. His novel Émile was the most significant book on education after Plato’s Republic, and his other work had a profound impact on political theory and practice, romanticism and the development of the novel.

At times, she treated him with such distaste and at others, she's kissing him in elevators. Obviously, I don't condone his actions, but it's shocking how much psychological and physical abuse he went through.One thing I noticed about Josie was that she seemed to give Peter mixed messages. At the heart of the matter, I do think Peter was a very tortured individual who was driven to do what he did out of desperation and a desire to make the bullying stop. ![]() ![]() Sometimes, I found myself sympathizing with him, but at others, I found him to be remorseless and a repulsive human being. I found it to be an interesting change that Peter did not kill himself at the end of the shooting spree, and I liked how we got to see what was going on in his head. Of course, for Lacey and Lewis, they were also plagued with self-doubt in their parenting abilities and blamed themselves for what Peter did. It really was jarring how Peter's parents felt just as lost, confused and heartbroken as the parents of the victims. I also really liked how we saw the tragedy through multiple perspectives. I really thought she was true to how the pain and trauma of a high school shooting affect the community. Picoult is such a remarkable, lyrical and evocative writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.
