He very carefully and lovingly prepared this world and all that is in it like parents would prepare a nursery for the new born baby. He did it all for man to enjoy all his days upon the earth. God spoke to the earth and the trees and all vegetation came into being. If you take a tree out of the soil – its source – it dies. God did the same with the fish in the sea – He spoke to the waters and created all the sea / water creatures and plants. Again, if you take the fish out of its source, it dies. When God made man , He spoke to Himself : “Let Us make man in Our Image.” He took out of Himself LIFE which belongs to Him only, and placed it into man. Man was created from God – God is man’s Source . If man walks away from God, He is cut off from his Source and will die! The purpose of this book is to help man find his way back to God and to be restored to his Source. May God give us His grace as we journey back into His Presence through the Door, Yeshua , and by His Blood alone, this has been made possible!! HALLELUJAH!! 4 In The Beginning… “In the beginning” God has this plan to create something special out of chaos and goes on to make the Earth and Man. Man is unique, He is made in God’s own Image, i.e. we carry the unique identity of being a spirit man – but although we are of the same spirit, we are given freedom of choice – we each make a choice as to whether we will serve God or not. To enable man’s existence on earth to be blessed, God gives him access to the Tree of Life. Gen. 2:9 “9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired—good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of [the difference between] good and evil and blessing and calamity.” The Tree of Life is a permanent part of God’s plan for man. Rev. 2:7 “7 He who is able to hear, let him listen to and give heed to what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). To him who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant to eat [of the fruit] of the tree of life , which is in the paradise of God.” When Adam and Eve sin by disobeying God’s commandments – they are exiled from the Garden of Eden and from the benefits of the Tree of Life. God’s plan for man to reconcile with Him is: - a life of faith by choice - a life of faith by obedience - the application of the blood of a sacrificial lamb. Man lives in a physical world. His ability to communicate, understand and have intimacy with God has been significantly reduced / changed, from daily intimacy face to face to – as Paul describes it – looking through a darkened mirror. In order that Man has some means to determine the boundary of the covenant , God gives us the Ten Commandments, the prophets and the Holy 5 Spirit to set the physical boundary. In this way we can interpret where / when / how the spiritual boundary is formed. THE TREE OF LIFE: It is essential that believers come to understand the nature of God and the fact that since the very beginning of time He has been waiting expectantly for each one of us to “return” to Him. God’s nature and desire is that when we choose to follow Him, that this covenant should be the foundation of our lives – in this way we will stand when the storms of life and the words of deceit from foreign gods are spoken all around us. a) God’s Covenantal Boundary for His people: The physical boundaries that define my lifestyle as a free-will offering of sacrifice to God will cause: - me to experience His blessing; - me to be protected at all time; - others to see and come to know God. I want to highlight the first 3 of the Ten Commandments – those that relate to Who God is and how we relate to Him. 6 The other seven Commandments reflect my inter-personal reaction within the community of believers and other neighbours here on earth. Commandment No. 1: Ex. 20:2 “2 I am Yahweh, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” We accept here the proclamation that there in only One God . Commandment No. 2: We accept here the Commandment that we will have no other interest that we will passionately follow hard after God. Therefore anything which competes with God for our time, energy, passion is an idol . Ex. 20:3-6 “3 You shall have no other gods before or besides Me. 4 You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, 6 But showing mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Col. 3:5 “5 So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).” 1 Cor. 8:5-6 “5 For although there may be so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many of them, both of gods and of lords and masters, 6 Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we [have life], and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by Whom we [ourselves exist].” 1 Cor. 5:11 “11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person.” 7 Eph. 5:5 “5 For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]—for he [in effect] is an idolater —has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” Acts 17:16 “16 Now while Paul was awaiting them at Athens, his spirit was grieved and roused to anger as he saw that the city was full of idols .” Commandment No. 3: Ex. 20: 7 “7 You shall not use or repeat the name of the Lord your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” We accept here the principle that my lifestyle/role-model will reflect the character of God.

THE TRIBE, AND INTERTRIBAL RELATIONS IN AUSTRALIA \X THE TRIBE, AND INTERTRIBAL RELATIONS IN AUSTRALIA BY GERALD C. WHEELER, B.A. LATE MARTIN WHITE STUDENT IN SOCIOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON WITH A PREFATORY NOTE BY EDWARD A. WESTERMARCK, Ph.D. PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, W. 1910 Q^'O' / PREFATORY NOTE The subject of the present essay indicates the kind of research which is encouraged at the Uni- versity of London so far as the lower stages of civiUzation are concerned. Next to sociological field-work—to which Mr. Wheeler also has recently devoted himself during a year's stay among the natives of the Solomon Islands—there are, within this branch of study, no other investigations so urgently needed as monographs on some definite class of social phenomena or institutions among a certain group of related tribes. A comparative treatment of some social institution as it exists throughout the uncivilized races of the world undoubtedly has its value. It bears out general resemblances as well as local or racial differences. It also, in many cases, enables the specialist to explain facts which he could hardly understand in full if his knowledge were restricted to a limited area.

  • KUOT a Non-Austronesian Language of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea
    Topics in the grammar of KUOT a non-Austronesian language of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea Eva Lindström PhD dissertation Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm Doctoral dissertation 2002 Department of Linguistics Stockholms universitet 106 91 Stockholm Sweden © 2002 Eva Lindström ISBN 91-7265-459-7 Cover design: Eva Lindström & Anne Gailit Printed by Akademitryck AB, Edsbruk 2002 Abstract This thesis describes certain areas in the grammar of the little-known Kuot language, spoken by some 1,500 people in New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea. Kuot is an isolate, and is the only non-Austronesian (Papuan) language of that province. The analyses presented here are based on original data from 18 months of linguistic fieldwork. The first chapter provides an overview of Kuot grammar, and gives details of earlier mentions of the language, and of data collection and the fieldwork situa- tion. The second chapter presents information about the prehistory and history of the area, the social system, kinship system and culture of Kuot speakers, as well as dialectal variation and prognosis of survival of the language. Chapter three treats Kuot phonology, with particular emphasis on the factors that govern allophonic variation, and on the expression of word stress and the functions of intonation. Word classes and the criteria used to define them are presented in Chapter four, which also contains a discussion of types of morphemes in Kuot. The last chapter describes in some detail the class of nouns in Kuot, their declensions, non-singular formation, and the properties of grammatical gender. Appendices give the full set of person-marking forms in Kuot, a transcription of a recorded text with interlinear glossing and translation, the Swadesh 100-word list for Kuot, and diagrams of kin relations and terminology.

PATERNOSTER ROW, E.G. 4 Printed in Great Britain at The Mayflower Press, Plymouth. William Brendon & Son Ltd TEZCATLIPOCA AS A WER-JAGUAR TO W. G. BURN MURDOCH, ESQ. OP WEST LOCH, BERWICKSHIRE ARTIST AND PATRIOTIC SCOTSMAN PREFACE the first effort to include in one volume all that is known regarding the arcane know- THIS,ledge and occult lore of the ancient Mexican peoples and their neighbours, the Maya of Central America and Yucatan, is the result of more than thirty-five years of research in a sphere which has richly repaid the writer by the companionship of its fascination, and which he hopes will prove equally absorbing to the reader who seeks passing amusement and to the serious student. The book is so compiled as to be useful to both, popular in its general treatment, yet sufficiently authoritative in its sources and data to be of avail either to the practical anthropologist or the student of Mysticism. The historical passages essential to the introduction of the main subject are necessarily sketchy, but embody sufficient information to permit the reader ignorant of Central American chronicles to approach the consideration of the curious knowledge of the more enlightened peoples of Isthmian America in the fields of pure Magic, Astrology, Witchcraft, Demonology and Symbolism.

  • The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer 1922
    THE GOLDEN BOUGH BY SIR JAMES GEORGE FRAZER 1922 PREFACE THE primary aim of this book is to explain the remarkable rule which regulated the succes- sion to the priesthood of Diana at Aricia. When. I first set myself to solve the problem more hthan thirty years ago, I thought that the solution could be propounded very briefly, but I soon found that to render it probable or even intelligible it was necessary to discuss certain more general questions, some of which had hardly been broached before. In successive editions the discussion of these and kindred topics has occupied more and more space, the enquiry has branched out in more and more directions, until the two volumes of the original work have expanded into twelve. Meantime a wish has often been expressed that the book should be issued in a more compendious form. This abridgment is an attempt to meet the wish and thereby to bring the work within the range of a wider circle of readers. While the bulk of the book has been greatly reduced, I have endeavoured to retain its leading principles, together with an amount of evidence sufficient to illustrate them clearly. The language of the original has also for the most part been preserved, though here and there the exposition has been somewhat condesed. In order to keep as much of the text as possible I have sacrificed all the notes, and with them all exact reference to my authorities. Readers who desire to ascertain the source of any particular statement must therefore consult the larger work, which is fully documented and provided with a complete bibliography.
