Free Download Jason Fisher Salwa Khoddam, Mark R. Hall, "C. S. Lewis and the Inklings: Reflections on Faith, Imagination, and Modern Technology"
English | ISBN: 1443876291 | 2015 | 325 pages | PDF | 1352 KB
This is a unique collection of two of the Inklings and their literary associates views on the negative impacts of technology in various areas of life and the resolution of these impacts through fellowship with others and faith in the Creator. Some of these essays offer suggestions on how ensnarement by social media and surrender to modern technology can be countered by surrender to God. Other essays also demonstrate how the significant literary craft of these authors can enchant readers and invite them into fairylands from which they return empowered and with a keener spiritual vision to tackle universal and present concerns.

Free Download Wouter J. Hanegraaff, "Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity"
English | ISBN: 1009123068 | 2022 | 400 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
In Egypt during the first centuries CE, men and women would meet discreetly in their homes, in temple sanctuaries, or insolitary places to learn a powerful practice of spiritual liberation. They thought of themselves as followers of Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary master of ancient wisdom. While many of their writings are lost, those that survived have been interpreted primarily as philosophical treatises about theological topics. Wouter J. Hanegraaff challenges this dominant narrative by demonstrating that Hermetic literature was concerned with experiential practices intended for healing the soul from mental delusion. The Way of Hermes involved radical alterations of consciousness in which practitioners claimed to perceive the true nature of reality behind the hallucinatory veil of appearances. Hanegraaff explores how practitioners went through a training regime that involved luminous visions, exorcism, spiritual rebirth, cosmic consciousness, and union with the divine beauty of universal goodness and truth to attain the salvational knowledge known as gnôsis.

Free Download John Talbot, "The Alcaic Metre in the English Imagination"
English | ISBN: 1350232491 | 2022 | 240 pages | EPUB | 412 KB
This book reveals how a remarkable ancient Greek and Latin poetic form – the alcaic metre – found its way into English poetry, and continues shaping the imagination of poets today. English poets have always admired the extraordinary beauty and intricacy of the alcaic stanza (Tennyson called it ‘the grandest of all measures’) and their inventive responses to the ancient alcaic have generated remarkable innovations in the rhythms, sounds and shapes of modern poetry. This is the first book-length study of this neglected strand of English literary history and classical reception.

Free Download Rule Breaking and Political Imagination by Kenneth A. Shepsle
English | 2017 | ISBN: 022647318X | 176 Pages | EPUB | 0.9 MB
"Imagination may be thought of as a ‘work-around.’ It is a resourceful tactic to ‘undo’ a rule by creating a path around it without necessarily defying it. . . . Transgression, on the other hand, is rule breaking. There is no pretense of reinterpretation; it is defiance pure and simple. Whether imagination or disobedience is the source, constraints need not constrain, ties need not bind."
