Henry corbin alone with the alone7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Bloom shows us that this Shakespearean cosmos is analogous to Corbin's "Imaginal Realm" of the Sufis, the place of soul or souls. These works, he writes, intermix the empirical world with a transcendent element. Harold Bloom's preface links Sufi mysticism with Shakespeare's visionary dramas and high tragedies, such as The Tempest and Hamlet. The remainder of the book is devoted to two complementary essays: on "Sympathy and Theosophy" and "Creative Imagination and Creative Prayer." A section of notes and appendices includes original translations of numerous Su fi treatises. ![]() He also relates Islamic mysticism to mystical thought in the West. ![]() In this book, which features a powerful new preface by Harold Bloom, Henry Corbin brings us to the very core of this movement with a penetrating analysis of Ibn 'Arabi's life and doctrines.Ĭorbin begins with a kind of spiritual topography of the twelfth century, emphasizing the differences between exoteric and esoteric forms of Islam. Through the richness of his personal experience and the constructive power of his intellect, he made a unique contribution to Shi'ite Sufism. Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) was one of the great mystics of all time. He was uniquely equipped not only to recover Iranian Sufism for the West, but also to defend the principal Western traditions of esoteric spirituality."-From the introduction by Harold Bloom Corbin, like Scholem and Jonas, is remembered as a scholar of genius.

![]() ![]() ![]() Massive objects could warp spacetime, which caused gravity.īig Idea #1: Scientific evidence confirms that the universe is expanding, and that this expansion is accelerating. Astronomers use this phenomenon to study stars and galaxies behind black holes.Īlbert Einstein’s theory of relativity connected space and time into spacetime. When light travels near massive objects, they bend the light around them. ![]() The larger the object, the more it bends around it (the rubber or space) and pulls in surrounding objects. ![]() General relativity is Einstein’s theory of gravitation, which showed that heavy objects distort spacetime in a similar way to how a marble distorts thin rubber sheeting when it’s laid on top of it. Matter can turn into energy, as described by the famous equation E=mc 2. Relativity demonstrated that matter and energy can be converted from one to another. The theory also postulates that nothing can travel faster than light speed. It established that time and space are not separate entities, but are interlinked so that how fast an object moves affects how quickly time passes. Relativity is Einstein’s theory about the structure of spacetime. So Einstein developed his own theories of special and general relativity to better understand the universe we live in. However, as scientists started examining large and distant objects, they found that Newtonian physics could not explain their behavior. Newton’s theory of gravity was sufficient to explain the motion of objects in our universe for a long time. 1-Page Summary of A Universe From Nothing Overview ![]() Book horton hears a who7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() In the case of 1954’s Horton Hears a Who, this LP recording came from the publisher itself, Random House, in 1976. Published in 1940, Egg was a 78 RPM record set in 1947. Horton Hatches the Egg was adapted for records relatively fast, as we saw in the last Spin. As in the earlier story, Horton the elephant finds himself at the center of one chaotic situation after another, usually being ridiculed, while he clings both to his values and his goal. Part science fiction, part social commentary, Horton Hears a Who is as much at home in high school and college classes as it is in grade schools today.

His first full-length novel, Wolf in White Van, published last month, is evidence that the acclaimed lyricist has quickly become a skillful writer of fiction. John Darnielle, the singer, songwriter, and only consistent member of the Mountain Goats, wrote a novella, released in 2008 as one of the more offbeat entries in the 33 1/3 series, about Black Sabbath’s 1971 album Master of Reality.

Line-Up Announced > Close ![]() Sister outsider book7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Speaking out, though, can bring solidarity and care, which are forms of protection. Therefore, silence offers no protection from mortality. As a matter of fact, the people who provided her with strength and insight during her period of illness and fear were women with whom she had bonded because of her decisions, at various points, to speak up and make her thoughts known. And yet, Lorde points out, people experience pain constantly regardless of what they choose to say, and she herself experienced a brush with death regardless of the many times she had opted to stay silent. After all, she posits, people generally silence themselves because they are afraid that pain, or even death, might occur as a result of their choice to speak. In this three-week period during which Lorde felt so keenly aware of her mortality, she regretted not the times she had spoken up but the times she had stayed silent. Still, those three uncertain weeks felt transformative. She recalls the three agonizing weeks awaiting surgery, after which she found out that the tumor had been benign after all. ![]() Only months before, doctors found a tumor in Lorde's breast.
