Since that time, it has sold over a million copies, and has been translated into many languages all over the world. Today, it continues to sell steadily and I receive continuous feedback that it is touching people’s lives in a meaningful way. Not long ago, I revised and updated my first book, Creative Visualization, and ever since that time, I’ve been feeling that I’d like to do the same for Living in the Light. The basic message of the book seems to be as timely and relevant as ever. Over the years since I wrote it, however, my understanding has developed and (hopefully) deepened through my own life experience and my work 1 LIL Quark-FM 1/22/01 8:42 AM Page 2 2 • Living in the Light with others. I felt that there were many things I would say some- what differently now, and that perhaps it would be valuable to my readers to hear more of my ongoing story as well as some of my “older and wiser” perspective. Having updated these two books, I now realize that revising a classic book is a delicate and difficult art form quite different from writing one. The challenge is this: How do I bring it up to date and into alignment with my present understanding while respect- ing and honoring the integrity and power of the original work, which in a sense is a living entity unto itself ? When I sat down to revise Living in the Light, I hadn’t read it for a number of years. As I went through it, I had two distinct reactions. One response was, “Wow! This is really good! I forgot that I was saying this stuff so clearly way back then.” The other response was an embarrassed wince when I felt I had said some- thing a little too simplistic or grandiose, or found something I no longer agreed with. I have not made major changes to the book. I have extended and updated my story in the Introduction, and reorganized a little, adding a chapter and taking out two others that no longer fit well. Otherwise, I have simply reworked it a bit — adding, subtracting, and editing to bring it more into alignment with my current views. I have only modified it where I strongly felt it could be improved or made more accurate. At times, I had to fight the temptation to simply write a whole new book on the same subject! I comforted myself with the thought that readers interested in a more complete view of how my LIL Quark-FM 1/22/01 8:42 AM Page 3 Author’s Preface • 3 ideas have evolved can easily find it in one of my newer works, such as The Path of Transformation or Creating True Prosperity. Those of you who have read Living in the Light in the original version may notice a slightly different tone to the revised edition. At the time I wrote the book, I was filled with youthful enthusiasm for the power I was finding in these ideas and practices. A dozen years later, I’m as enthusiastic and committed to these ideas as ever, but I now have a healthy respect for the ongoing challenge of inte- grating them into our daily lives. So you may notice a somewhat humbler approach, acknowledging and honoring the complexities of life and the human journey. Probably the greatest difference for me between then and now is my understanding of the necessity and importance of acknowl- edging, working with, and embracing our disowned energies, our “shadow side.” At this point, the phrase living in the light has a deeper and subtler meaning for me than before. It refers to the consciousness and balance that comes into our lives as we become aware of, accept, and express the many aspects of who we are, including the parts that we may have feared and rejected. When I wrote this book, the millennium change was still years away. Now it is at hand, and the idea that we are creating a new world seems more relevant than ever. Whether you have read Living in the Light before and are curi- ous to read the revised version, or are a first-time reader, welcome! I hope you enjoy the book and find inspiration on your journey of self-discovery. LIL Quark-FM 1/22/01 8:42 AM Page 4 Introduction The Beginning of My Journey I have always had a burning desire to understand how the universe works, what life is all about, and the meaning and purpose for which I am here. In retrospect, I can see that my entire life has been devoted to my search for truth and understanding. I was brought up in a very intellectual, well-educated, non- religious family. My parents were essentially atheists, and very early on, I remember having the attitude that a belief in God was a human fabrication, a fantasy, a superstition created to help people 4 LIL Quark-FM 1/22/01 8:42 AM Page 5 Introduction • 5 feel better about the totally unexplained, and unexplainable, predicament we seem to find ourselves in. Human existence, or any other kind of existence, was simply an accident of nature and had no particularly fathomable meaning. I preferred to admit that I didn’t know how we got here or why, rather than to adopt a sim- plistic explanation merely to gain a sense of security. I believed that truth was rational and anything that couldn’t be proved scientifi- cally didn’t exist. I also felt somewhat condescending toward peo- ple who were weak enough to have to make up a god to believe in. The positive side of this upbringing was that I didn’t get a lot of the rigid dogma and deeply negative messages about right and wrong, heaven and hell, and sin that so many people receive in their early religious training. On the other hand, I had no conscious con- cept or experience of the spiritual dimension of life, and no answers for the questions I had about the meaning and purpose of my life.

  • Getting to Know the Score a Heuristic Study Of
    Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp MSc Counselling Psychology Keele University 2018 Timothy M Crisp / 15019739 Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp Abstract Relatively little is known about the experience of problem gambling, but the issue of betting addiction impacts upon a worrying number of people. More than two million people in the United Kingdom are classified as being either problem gamblers, or at risk of developing a betting addiction (Gambling Commission, 2018, p.24). Yet, the British Psychological Society (2011) and the American Psychological Association (2013) identify a disturbing lack of study into the phenomenological experience of problem gambling. Using heuristics (Moustakas, 1990), I conducted a self-study into my experience of problem gambling. I adopted such a qualitative approach, as I wanted to realise the unique nature, essence and meanings of my addiction. My data was gathered in a journal, at the time I was experiencing my betting problem, and in retrospect. The tacit knowledge and understanding that emerged was collated into three themes. The first theme determined that my problem gambling was only concerned with in-play betting, and not online or high-street activity, due to the relative intensity of the encounter. The causes of my addiction were found to occur in succession; originally escape, then a confidence in the structured approach of a strategy. My previous experience of a sizeable win proved a continued and strong influence. The additional themes occurred sequentially. Initially, where the beneficial aspects of control, escape and reality were discovered to be illusory, and finally, where I encountered the shock of a spontaneous self-combustion.

In this paper, I investigate what Jason Wirth calls’ Bataille’s “mad game of writing” in order to show that Bataille’s bizarre writing style is actually an extension of his ethical and philosophical commitments. Bataille’s writing attempts to produce a state within the reader rather than simply transmit information. I trace the justifications and roots for such a writing from his own system, as well as showing how such a style of writing has its roots in Kantian aesthetics and in Hegel’s Phenomenology. I live by tangible experience and not by logical explanation. I have of the divine an experience so mad that one will laugh at me if I speak of it.

  • How Not to Succeed in Law School
    Essays How Not to Succeed in Law School James D. Gordon HIIt I. SHOULD You Go TO LAW SCHOOL? Would you like to help the less fortunate? Would you like to see liberty and justice for all? Do you want to vindicate the rights of the oppressed? If so, you should join the Peace Corps. The last thing you should do is attend law school. People basically hate lawyers, and with good reason. That's why you'll rarely escape from a dinner party without hearing at least one lawyer joke. Indeed, literature reveals that people have always hated lawyers.

Just for the record (in case I am ever nominated for ajudicial appointment), I don't believe a word of this Essay. And if I do, I'm only being tentative.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • 305 Gayane Grigoryan Lost Generation: Love and Life
    GAYANE GRIGORYAN LOST GENERATION: LOVE AND LIFE FOR A GENERATION OF SOULS LOST IN THE WORLD The Lost Generation defines a sense of moral loss or aimlessness apparent in literary figures during the 1920s. World War I seemed to have destroyed the idea that if you acted virtuously, good things would happen. Many good, young men went to war and died, or returned home either physically or mentally wounded, and their faith in the moral guideposts that had earlier given them hope, were no longer valid...they were lost. The term was popularized by Ernest Hemingway who used it as one of two contrasting epigraphs for his novel The Sun Also Rises. In that volume Hemingway credits the phrase to Gertrude Stein, who was then his mentor and patron1. The status of affairs in America in the years following the First World War spawned a generation of authors termed the lost generation. In response to the political and social atmosphere of the United States these authors sought cultural refuge in European cities. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald are two prominent authors who followed the path to becoming the lost generation. In their works The Sun Also Rises and Tender Is The Night, listed respectively, Hemingway and Fitzgerald provide works of literature that embody the spirit of the lost generation. Through provision of an account of the lost generation and analysis of Hemingways and Fitzgeralds texts, the textual embodiment of lost generation values will be highlighted. In its most literal definition it would seem as if a lost generation would not have a history.
