Jesus Christ the Son Of Jesus Christ Son Of Man Introduction Luke 1:1-4 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. The Gospel According to Luke is a gospel that gives us a view of Christ as being the Son of Man. The Lord Jesus was God in the flesh to which all the gospels give testimony. The Lord often referred to himself as the Son of Man, a designation that emphasized his connection to the human race. He didn't merely come here to co-habitate with us, as God dwelling among us, but rather as the Son of Man, God made flesh and dwelling among us. In this gospel, it seems, the spotlight is upon the unique way in which this God/man relationship plays out. We see Jesus as a human being, as a baby born in the natural way although conceived in a supernatural way. He had a mother and a stepfather, who was his legal father, giving him rights to the throne of David as being a direct descendant. We see him interacting with the human race with love and compassion. Luke dwells on matters that are of concern to people; where did he come from; what were the circumstances of his birth; and how did those around him perceive him? It seems Luke wanted us to see Jesus as truly one of us even though he was God. He wanted us to see God in him without compromising his humanity. He also wanted us to know for certain that he was who we believe him to be. No question about it, the man Jesus was every bit a man: the man Jesus was every bit God! Though Luke was not an eyewitness to the events that he reported, he was a reliable source as he was of the first generation of the church. He had a friend named Theophilus, which means one who loves God. Luke had carefully investigated the facts reported and wrote this letter to strengthen the faith of Theophilus. It is believed that Theophilus was a Roman dignitary or at least of high position and wealth. It seems that Luke felt a certain responsibility to Theophilus; perhaps as one he was discipling. Not only is the book of Luke addressed to him but also the book of Acts. Luke was probably a Gentile by birth, well educated in Greek culture and a physician by profession. He also traveled with Paul on occasions and was therefore an eyewitness to parts of the book of Acts. He had a mind that paid attention to details and therefore we have many facts in the book of Luke about the birth of Jesus and John and the early life of our Lord that aren't reported elsewhere. These are important facts to anyone interested in the humanity of the Lord. Our God is not a detached God who cares little about the affairs of people. He came here to this realm and experienced life, as we have to live it. He faced the everyday world of the workingman, laboring as a carpenter. He suffered the struggles of life in a small obscure village called Nazareth. There is no Biblical evidence that Jesus ever performed a miracle until after his baptism in Jordan. It is believed that at some point in the early life of our Lord that Joseph died. This conclusion is drawn from the fact that only Mary appears in any of the Gospels after the childhood experiences of Jesus. It is further strengthened by the fact that Jesus assigned responsibility for Mary to John while hanging on the cross. There are many people who have suffered the loss of a dear loved one in early life; can our Lord understand that kind of loss? The answer is "yes"; he not only understands it, but also evidently experienced it. Some may wonder why Jesus would allow his earthly father to die. The fact seems to be that Jesus never used his power for personal convenience or comfort. He fully experienced everything that life has to offer, never limiting the pain or suffering, so that as our great high priest; he is touched by the feelings of our infirmities. The book of Luke presents us with a very real person, one who knew what it was to walk where he needed to go. He got hungry, tired, and bore the heat of summer days while working for a living. He experienced grief in the loss of his earthly father, was betrayed, mocked, beaten and crucified. In this book we will attempt to discover the real Jesus, the man of Galilee, the Savior of all mankind who accept him. A man among men who showed us the way to rise above adversity, stand tall in the face of danger and triumph over our enemies. Though he was God, he functioned as a man. He lived a life of faith not in who he was, though he was well aware of that, but rather in his Father who worked in him doing the work. He lived in the condition of faith, enabling him to take authority over every power of the devil. He functioned as men must function, both in the natural and in the spiritual. He had to set aside some of his divine attributes to be a man in every sense of the word, only without sin. He was born with a pure nature; he was God's one and only Son. He had the nature of God and therefore was able to show us the Father in how he conducted himself among us. Chapter One God has a Plan Luke 1:5-25 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly. But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren; and they were both well along in years. Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside. Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth. Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years." The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time." Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak. When his time of service was completed, he returned home. After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. "The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people." To Matthew, Mark and John, the story about John the Baptist's birth was not an important story to their report. Their approach to the story of Jesus was from an entirely different point of view. But to Luke, and to all of us, it is a vitally important bit of information. We like to know the background of people we trust. We want to know where they came from and what were the circumstances that shaped their lives. John the Baptist was a key player in the story of Jesus, and knowing about his background lends creditability to his mission and words. Luke was not only writing to show us the humanity of Jesus but he was also aware of our humanity.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

The series is intended to target an academic audience interested in the following areas: – Traditional fields of humanities whose research paths are focused on issues of current concern; – New fields of humanities emerged to meet the demands of societal changes; – Multi/Inter/Cross/Transdisciplinary dialogues between humanities and social and/or natural sciences; – Humanities “in disguise”, that is, those fields (currently belonging to other spheres), that remain rooted in a humanistic vision of the world; – Forms of investigations and reflections, in which the humanities monitor and critically assess their scientific status and social condition; – Forms of research animated by creative and innovative humanities-based

  • Light-Into-Ashes-Grateful-Dead-Music-Emotions
    Nicholas Dauphinais 8/6/2016 Globe Institute Summer Intensive Light Into Ashes What was it about the vibration of the Grateful Dead that drew beings together from all walks of life together in unity? Were they potentially the greatest sound healers in rock and roll? Some came for freedom, inspiration, drugs, spiritual experiences; others came to spin in circles. The one thing that made Grateful Dead concerts so unique was not just the band but the fans. Most fans would agree it was a place they felt safe to be themselves and that the music healed some part of their consciousness they needed. Without the fans the Grateful Dead would not have been able to pull off what they did musically. Often times they were feeding off the crowd energetically, like one big mirror. Jerry Garcia once said “We still feel that our function is as a dance band. We like to play with dancers….nothing improves your time like having somebody dance. It pulls the whole thing together, and is also a nice little feedback thing”. By creating this environment for the fans to feel freedom they were able to advance in their musical explorations themselves and feel freedom on a stage. This was revolutionary time period to be alive. During their birth of a band they were one of the least popular San Francisco bands getting zero media attention. Immerging from the scene were bands like Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service, this was a beautiful time period to be a band, it was almost impossible not to have inspiration everywhere you looked.

  • Jerry Garcia's Long, Strange Trip
    Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip... Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip rolls on 15 years after his death, Grateful Dead leader’s influence ingrained in culture By Tony Sclafani, TODAYshow.com contributor, MSNBC, 8/6, 4:28 p.m. ET Forget vanilla. Fifteen years after Jerry Garcia died on August 9, 1995, his namesake ice cream, Cherry Garcia, continues to be the best-selling flavor for the Ben & Jerry’s brand, according to spokesperson Liz Stewart. This tidbit of information might seem trivial, but it underscores a larger point: the influence of the Grateful Dead’s guiding force continues to be felt in popular culture in ways few people would have imagined when he was a cult figure back in the 1960s and ’70s. Over the decades, Garcia’s reputation grew as he became a symbol of both the counterculture and a do-your-own-thing aesthetic he exemplified with his music. As chief songwriter and lead guitarist with the Grateful Dead, he expanded the boundaries of rock by incorporating a myriad of influences into his songs and bringing jazz-inspired guitar improvisations to the rock concert stage. “Anybody who was not afraid to have a song last for 20 minutes early on was influenced by his music,” said Bruce Hornsby, who scored a chart topping hit in the 1980s before becoming an unofficial Grateful Dead member in the 1990s. “(He) spawned Phish, the Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic and I think also the Allman Brothers.” But if you count Garcia only as being the granddaddy of the jam band scene, 1 / 5 Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip..

  • Olssonlsson - Listeninglistening Forfor Thethe Secret.Inddsecret.Indd 1313 116/02/176/02/17 8:428:42 PMPM 14 / Popular Avant-Garde?
    1. Popular Avant-Garde: Renegotiating Tradition When studying the Grateful Dead—both the band and the wider cultural phenomenon—one should not be surprised if the image discovered is mixed or even contradictory: Was the Grateful Dead a rock band at all? If not, what was it? Jerry Garcia early on could claim that the band was not for “cranking out rock and roll” but “to get high.”1 Bob Weir stated that “we’re a jazz band. I won’t say we’re nothing but a jazz band, because our basic premise is rock ‘n’ roll. We just approach it from a jazz point of view.”2 Phil Lesh talked about the music that the band played as “electric chamber music,”3 empha- sizing that the “Grateful Dead is more than music, but it has always been fundamentally music . this ongoing experiment in collective creativity.”4 The three band members apparently agree that they did not form your aver- age rock band, but at the same time they formulate rather different visions of what the band is about. Even within the band, opinions differ on what must have been a central issue—but that issue could not be settled outside of the music, it could only be worked out, resolved in music. In that practice, positions could shift, often in just a few bars—Garcia searching for an Apollonian exactness and clarity, the definitive CD version or interpretation of a song, and Lesh pushing the music into the ecstatic unknown, promoting improvisation and madness, the Dionysian version of the Dead.

  • Sound, Music and the Brain: Tools to Enhance Communication, Learning and Behavior
    Sound, Music and the Brain: Tools to Enhance Communication, Learning and Behavior Contact information: Kathy Arquette [email protected] 503.302.7869 Lin Bauer [email protected] 503.507.3515 Additional information/resources: Dr. Alfred Tomatis (1920-2001) was a French Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. Dr. Tomatis discovered that listening problems are the root cause of may learning problems. His research led to knowledge auditory processing and its relationship to learning, behavior and communication. When our ears cannot hear certain frequencies, our voice does not contain them either. He discovered that the muscles of the middle ear, which are the gatekeepers to the brain for air conducted sound, can be strengthened and retrained. Sounds that enter the brain via bone conduction go directly into the inner ear, which makes focusing very difficult. Dr. Tomatis created a machine called the Electronic Ear to help this process. One of his books that has been translated into English is called The Conscious Ear which explains his discoveries. One of his students, Paul Madaule, wrote a book called When Listening Comes Alive telling his own story of his early learning struggles, and how Dr. Tomatis helped him overcome them. He runs a Tomatis based Listening Centre in Canada. Advanced Brain Technologies (www.advancedbrain.com) has done much follow up research and continues to offer music and sound technologies for a variety of purposes. Joshua Leeds is a sound healer who has worked with Advanced Brain, as well as on his own. His books include: The Healing Power of Sound. Don Campbell has written extensively on the transformational power of sound, music, toning and listening.

  • Thomas Ledbury Research Journal 4/7/16 the California Subculture
    Thomas Ledbury Research Journal 4/7/16 The California Subculture of The Grateful Dead The culture of the fans to The Grateful Dead is an outstanding representation of how California’s melting pot of cultures is a dream to experience. Why is California Great? In the music by the Grateful dead, the artists share a love of the music, which installs itself into the mind of the fans. A band born in 1965 still resonates this overwhelming appealing of the California culture that other people feel when listening to the music. I have listened to plenty of interviews throughout the Tie Dyed documentary and believe that this paper could eventually show why this is true. As the people gather to these concerts across the world fans from Chicago to Boston always explain their experience as a sensation of love and community. The laid back lifestyle that makes California so appealing to the outside world is the warm relaxing life you must love if you are in California. One thing I have definitely learned and will look further into is this turmoil created outside of the shoes. When police force was used in the late 80s and turned brutal many for the fans were outraged and it created a hostile scene in many states. This is not what the Grateful Dead ever wanted to result from a show. As populations in towns doubled over night because of a Grateful Dead show the community became fed up. In the interviews we can see how concerned the artists are because this doesn’t portray the laid back vibes of the music.
