"[This novel is] visionary fiction based on nearly twenty-five years of research into ancient Egypt. It is a fascinating and revealing tale, which offers new insights into the mysteries of the pyramids and biblical and global history. Readers may never look at the world the same way again." -Paul M. Howey, author and president of Aztexts Publishing, Inc. Many people consider the possibility of the world's end. In science, experts speak of global warming or the impact of a giant meteor. Theologians believe in Armageddon, or Judgment Day. Is our civilization headed toward imminent death? Throughout time we have been reminded of a coming Messiah. Many have foretold the arrival of the water bearer or spoken of the spiritually significant Age of Aquarius. To some, such thoughts are fanciful and removed from reality, while others have devoted their lives to such expectations.Were the prophets of old correct? Has "the One" finally risen again? Is he prepared to deliver the final chapter for this world? The answer to the world's current state of chaos may be simple. It is time for us to remember from whom and where we came. It is time to rediscover our common mother and father; the ones who gave us life. Aven is their story. Their story is our salvation.

The dialectic between reason and imagination forms a key element in Romantic and post- Romantic philosophy, science, literature, and art. Inventions of the Imagination explores the diverse theories and assessments of this dialectic in essays by philosophers and literary and cultural critics. By the end of the eighteenth century, reason as the predominant human faculty had run its course, and imagination emerged as another force whose contributions to human intellectual existence and productivity had to be newly calculated and constantly recalibrated. The attempt to establish a universal form of reason alongside a plurality of imaginative capacities describes the ideological program of modernism from the end of the eighteenth century to the present day. This collection chronicles some of the vicissitudes in the conceptualization and evaluation of the imagination across time and in various disciplines.

Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise was published anonymously in 1670 and immediately provoked huge debate. Its main goal was to claim that the freedom of philosophizing can be allowed in a free republic and that it cannot be abolished without also destroying the peace and piety of that republic. Spinoza criticizes the traditional claims of revelation and offers a social contract theory in which he praises democracy as the most natural form of government. This Critical Guide presents essays by well-known scholars in the field and covers a broad range of topics, including the political theory and the metaphysics of the work, religious toleration, the reception of the text by other early modern philosophers and the relation of the text to Jewish thought. It offers valuable perspectives on this important and influential work.
