Los Viajantes de la Perseverancia
by Juliano OzgaLOS VIAJANTES DE LA PERCEVERANCIA La perseverancia es el camino, nosotros los viajantes. Surcando sin miedo las aguas para llegar al ansiado puerto. Sin venirse abajo ni rendirse. Los perseverantes escriben libros, escriben canciones. Y los sueltan para que tomen vida. La perseverancia es puta. Te aprieta. Pero también es docta, y te ofrece fuerzas para el camino. En este, mi camino, me encontré ya hace tiempo con otro viajante. Juliano. Un camino que te lleva lejos, en este caso hasta ese precioso país que es Brasil. No recuerdo más sus playas que a la gente que a cambio de nada me hizo más fácil ese viaje perseverante. Tengo el don de la memoria selectiva y no se me va a olvidar esa gente que me trató como una más. No se me va a olvidar cómo no me faltó donde comer o donde dormir en lugares hasta ese momento desconocidos. Sus gentes me dieron en más de una ocasión una lección de humildad y bondad que espero poder devolver con otros viajantes que en algún momento precisen de mi persona. Juliano es una persona especial, una persona que contra todo pronóstico sigue siendo mi amigo. Y una se alegra cuando un amigo le propone redactar el prefacio de su nuevo libro. Así que, aquí lo tienes. Desde la lejana Hispania, de tu querida Altesa. TERESA ARIAS (ALTESA ), Espanã, octubre de 2016.

Sigue a Megan en este viaje donde intentará aprender más de esta excursión escolar al pasado y aprender de los consejos que su Guía espiritual le brinda sobre la mejor manera de usar sus poderes”.

Vicegerency in Islamic Thought and Scripture: Towards a Qur'anic Theory of Human Existential Function (Routledge Studies in Islamic Philosophy)
by Chauki LazharThis book explores the reasons for the creation of humanity on Earth from the perspective of ancient and contemporary Muslim thinkers, aiming to lay the outlines of a Qurʾanic theory of human existential function. The author proceeds from the assumption that, until now, contemporary Islamic scholarship has suffered from the absence of theorisation about a Qurʾanic conception of human existential function (vicegerency), lacking a unified philosophical and epistemological frame of reference. Challenging common perceptions among contemporary Muslim reformists regarding the human existential function, the author examines both classical and contemporary thought as well as conducting a thorough and comprehensive analysis of Qurʾanic passages that ground the theory of vicegerency within a cosmic scheme. Ultimately, a new approach for understanding the human existential function from within the Qurʾanic worldview is proposed. For the first time then, this book offers an integral induction and categorisation of Qurʾanic teleological concepts, combining them within a coherent framework that reveals the outlines of a vicegerency theory and a Qurʾanic worldview. Suitable for both scholars and laypersons, the book serves as a landmark textbook in the fields of Islamic Philosophy, Theological Anthropology and Qurʾanic Studies.

Victor Hugo's Conversations with the Spirit World: A Literary Genius's Hidden Life
by John ChambersFirst English translation of Victor Hugo’s writings on his experiments in spiritualism • Reveals Hugo’s conversations with renowned discarnate entities such as Shakespeare, Plato, Galileo, and Jesus • Examines his contacts with aliens from the planets Mercury and Jupiter and the revelation that our entire universe is a quantum hologram • Discusses Hugo’s possible role as a grand master of the Priory of Sion During Victor Hugo’s exile on the Isle of Jersey, where he and his family and friends escaped the reign of Napoléon III, he conducted “table-tapping” séances, transcribing hundreds of channeled conversations with entities from the beyond. Among his discarnate visitors were Shakespeare, Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau, Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus. According to the transcripts, Jesus, during his three visits, condemns Druidism, faults Christianity, and suggests a new religion with Hugo as its prophet.To the skeptic, some of the “conversations” may seem self-serving--at best, the subconscious wishes of the naïve participants. But author John Chambers places Hugo’s experiments firmly in the tradition of visionary literature and psychic exploration, aligning those experiences with the poetry of William Blake, the table-tapping experiences of the Fox sisters, and the channeled writings of the great modern-day Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Merrill, whose spirits’ utterances uncannily resemble those of Hugo’s. Hugo’s transcriptions are the missing link between the early nineteenth century’s fascination with the kabbalistic Zohar, reincarnation, and the writings of the Illuminati and the rise of spiritualism and the societies for the study of psychic phenomena in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Victorian Christianity and Emigrant Voyages to British Colonies c.1840- c.1914
by Rowan StrongThis book examines the varieties of Christianity adhered to by most British and Irish emigrants in the nineteenth century, and consequently taken to their new homes in British settler colonies. Rowan Strong explores a dimension of this emigration history that has been overlooked by scholars―the development of an international emigrants' chaplaincy by the Church of England that ministered to Anglicans, Nonconformists, as well as others, including Scandinavians, Germans, Jews, and freethinkers. Using the sources of this emigrants' chaplaincy, Strong also makes extensive use of the shipboard diaries kept by emigrants themselves to give them a voice in this history. Using these sources to look at the British and Irish emigrant voyages to new homes, this study provides an analysis of the Christianity of these emigrants as they travelled by ship to British colonies. Their ships were floating villages that necessitated and facilitated religious encounters across denominational and even religious boundaries. It argues that the Church of England provided an emigrants' ministry that had the greatest longevity, breadth, and international structure of any Church in the nineteenth century. The book also examines the principal varieties of Christianity espoused by most British emigrants, and argues this religion was more central to their identity and, consequently, more significant in settler colonies than many historians have often hitherto accepted. In this way, the Church of England's emigrant chaplaincy made a major contribution to the development of a British world in settler colonies of the empire.
