High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies
by Erik DavisAn exploration of the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality in the work of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson.A study of the spiritual provocations to be found in the work of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson, High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s. These three authors changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experienced reality—but how did their writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America? In High Weirdness, Erik Davis—America's leading scholar of high strangeness—examines the published and unpublished writings of these vital, iconoclastic thinkers, as well as their own life-changing mystical experiences. Davis explores the complex lattice of the strange that flowed through America's West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social upheaval to present a new theory of the weird as a viable mode for a renewed engagement with reality.
High Yield: Seven Disciplines of the Fruitful Leader
by Lovett H. Weems Jr. Tom BerlinJust as in the world of agriculture, many variables influence fruitfulness. Leader behaviors are among the most important of those variables. Whether by training or intuition, fruitful leaders develop a set of practices that serve them well and bear much fruit. These practices often become second nature to these leaders, and thus they seldom think to share them with other leaders who may be struggling. Dr. Lovett H. Weems Jr. and Tom Berlin provide a vital resource to leaders through High Yield, a book that consists of a series of short chapters on leadership practices the authors have found most fruitful in their leadership and what they've seen exemplified in others. While many of these practices are common among diverse leaders, their implementation is as unique as the leaders themselves.

A Higher Dimension: Enter a World of Prophecy, Miracles, and Glory
by Ryan LeStrangeYou weren&’t born into a season. You were born into a dimension. This book will show you what it means to function in the realm of God&’s kingdom and how you can demonstrate its power. A dimension is not a time but a space, a place, and a location. The Bible speaks of the kingdom of God as a realm. By becoming Christians, we move into the space of the kingdom. And as we come into proper understanding of the weight and reality of the kingdom, we are able to subdue the forces of hell at work in the earth realm. &“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins&” (Col. 1:13–14, NASB). We have been translated or transferred from one place to another. We have been relocated from one realm to another. We have moved from one dimension to another. Through His sacrifice on the cross Jesus paid our debts fully and transferred us from under the authority of darkness into His marvelous power and rule. We are now fully active citizens of the kingdom, and we are called to dwell in a new dimension. When we function from this dimension, we demonstrate the power of the kingdom and transform the space around us. This book will encourage believers to access the fullness of the power and authority that is available to them as ambassadors of the kingdom of God by helping them to understand the nature of this dimension and their position in it.

Higher Education and Belief Systems in the Asia Pacific Region: Knowledge, Spirituality, Religion, and Structures of Faith (Education in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects #49)
by Alexander Jun Christopher S. CollinsThis book underscores the role of belief and knowledge that are outside the canons of science, as they are not often considered within the core functions of a university. It explores various ways in which belief systems are part of the fabric of higher education – either implicitly or explicitly – and pursues a deeper understanding of the role of belief practices as it plays out in both private and public higher education. The broad variety of geographic locations and belief systems represented here demonstrate the ways in which implicit and explicit belief systems affect higher education. The book is unique in its breadth of coverage, but also in its depth of exploration regarding how belief systems function in society through the avenue of higher education, which is often a central site for the production and dissemination of knowledge.
Higher Education Finance and Islamic Endowments (Islamic Business and Finance Series)
by Nurul Adilah Hasbullah Asmak Ab RahmanPublic debt pressures due to the global economic crisis in several countries have impacted higher education, compelling governments to curtail the funding of higher education institutions (HEIs). Various instruments have been proposed as a platform for the private sector to channel funding to HEIs. This book introduces readers to the issues surrounding the financing of HEIs, especially public universities, which are dependent on government budgets. It discusses the sources of funding for HEIs, focusing on philanthropic instruments through endowment and waqf funds. Since both forms of income are obtained via contributions from third parties, such as alumni, individuals, business corporations etc., it is essential that they are managed in such a way to ensure their sustainability and that their benefits can be accessed without interruption. It explains the theory of successful endowment and waqf at HEIs, namely appropriate investment planning, superior investment committees, highly skilled investment managers, alumni networks, diversity of income sources and effective fundraising. These elements have been studied empirically in this book through case studies of several selected Malaysian public universities. The book considers policy implications and offers recommendations of strategies that Universities can adopt, such as the appointment of fund managers. No specific guidelines currently exist for appointing fund managers to enable universities to invest in assets such as bonds, equities, and property. Therefore, the book encourages universities to grow the endowment and waqf funds through proper investment strategies executed by professional fund managers. The book contributes new knowledge to scholars, students and researchers, as well as informing university administrators how to collect, manage and invest funds from endowment and waqf.
