In her latest work, Universal Awareness: Insights for Igniting the Power Within Us, author Gini Ruhlman reveals how our mindsets and belief systems are molded from the things we see, hear, or have been taught. She encourages us to distinguish our truths from fact and how imperative it is for us to seek direction for our personal lives rather than allow others to do it for us. Ruhlman addresses fear and control and the damaging consequences they have on us. We are empowered with the ability to create positive or negative results in life. With Wisdom and unconditional love, we can learn to use that power to grow, inspire, avoid conflicts and create peace. Finding our truth and living it defines our greatest challenge, marking our critical, invigorating turning point to embrace a truly meaningful life. Gini Ruhlman takes on this substantial task recounting insights drawn from her direct spiritual encounters and heartfelt and deeply moving journey. Explaining to her readers in clear terms how to discover this breakthrough for themselves. Gini motivates her readers to embrace the positive, transformative, and joyful possibilities for a meaningful life as they discover their true path. I highly recommend this important, refreshing, and gratifying read. John T. Chirban, Ph.D., Th.D. Harvard Medical School

When you understand who you are, then you are able to discover what you are capable of. Studies have shown that over seventy percent of the population is challenged with depression at one point in their lives. Depression is a clear and simple expression of what occurs within a person when they experience a lack of truth. The information within the pages of Believe has been strategically designed to alleviate clinical depression in vast numbers of people throughout society. Offering universal truth and clarity to those who know the experience they are having is not a reflection of who they are or what they are capable of. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING for something to believe in. Something that allows them to understand the meaning of life and the reason they have endured the challenges and experiences that have consistently showed up. They are looking for truth but in ways that defy every instinct and natural tendency within them. For the first time in the current history of the universe Believe offers clear and concise explanations of who we are as a human race. Why humanity was created and most importantly what we are capable of. This knowledge has the ability to release the burden of confusion to allow for the experience of abundance and joy to not only enter your life but to lead it.

Born out of a major international dialogue held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy, this collection of essays presents innovative and provocative arguments about the claims of universal knowledge schemes and the different aesthetic and material forms in which such claims have been made and executed. Contributors take a close look at everything from religious pilgrimages, museums, and maps of the world, to search engines and automated GPS. Current obsessions in information technology, communications theory, and digital culture often concern the value and possibility of a grand accumulation of universally accessible forms of knowledge: total libraries, open data bases, ubiquitous computing, and ‘smart’ technologies. These obsessions have important social and philosophical origins, and they raise profound questions about the very nature of knowledge and its organization. This volume’s contributors draw on the histories of maps and of encyclopedias, worldviews and visionary collections, to make sense of the crucial relation between the way the world is known and how it might be displayed and transformed.

This book called "Brahmandic Gyanum" meaning universal knowledge may provide the reader, the required conscious awareness needed to come to terms with the secret knowledge of universe [Brahmanda], as most evolving humans are stuck in their day to day material lives, which is due to the polarization of their evolving consciousness in the world of glamour through their emotional bodies commonly known as the astral body [Mano may kosha or kama manas].

History of science credits the Flemish physician, alchemist and philosopher Jan Baptist Van Helmont (1579-1644) for his contributions to the development of chemistry and medicine. Yet, as this book makes clear, focussing on Van Helmont's impact on modern science does not do justice to the complexity of his thought or to his influence on successive generations of intellectuals like Robert Boyle or Gottfried Leibniz. Revealing Van Helmont as an original thinker who sought to produce a post-Scholastic synthesis of religion and natural philosophy, Georgiana Hedesan reconstructs his ambitious quest for universal knowledge as it emerges from the text of the Ortus medicinae (1648). Published after Van Helmont's death by his son, the work can best be understood as a compilation of finished and unfinished treatises, the historical product of a life unsettled by religious persecution and personal misfortune. The present book provides a coherent account of Van Helmont's philosophy by analysing its main tenets. Divided into two parts, the study opens with a background to Van Helmont's concept of an alchemical Christian philosophy, demonstrating that his outlook was deeply grounded in the tradition of medical alchemy as reformed by Theophrastus von Hohenheim, called Paracelsus (1493-1541). It then reconstitutes Van Helmont's biography, while giving a historical dimension to his intellectual output. The second part reconstructs Van Helmont's Christian philosophy, investigating his views on God, nature and man, as well as his applied philosophy. Hedesan also provides an account of the development of Van Helmont's thought throughout his life. The conclusion sums up Van Helmont's intellectual achievement and highlights avenues of future research.
