Materialization Mechanics: Bridging Physics to The Biblical Gospel of Prosperity

This study explores the intersection of quantum mechanics and spiritual beliefs, particularly the Biblical Gospel of Prosperity, to understand the role of consciousness in manifesting material reality. The paper examines how observation in quantum mechanics – the collapse of the wave function into a concrete state – resonates with the Biblical principle of belief actualizing potential. It argues that, as quantum entities exist in a state of potential realized upon observation, the human mind, when aligned with divine intention and attentive faith, can shift reality onto a path of prosperity. Incorporating quantum and biblical references, the paper delves into the concepts of ‘intention’ and ‘attention’ as transformative forces. It discusses how, within the quantum framework, the observer's mind influences the materialization of potential outcomes. Analogously, it correlates to the Biblical assertion that faith and intention can invoke God’s will to provide the conditions necessary for prosperity. The discussion is anchored in scriptural exegesis and interpretations of prosperity within a Biblical context, juxtaposed with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the theory of quantum consciousness. It proposes a model where the mind’s role in reality creation is a collaborative process with the divine, reflecting a synergy between spiritual belief and scientific understanding. This interdisciplinary approach aims to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, suggesting that Materialization Mechanics in the physical world and the metaphysical teachings of prosperity are not mutually exclusive but are interconnected realms influenced by human consciousness and divine providence.

Revisiting the policy implications of COVID‐19, asylum seekers, and migrants on the Mexico–U.S. border: Creating (and maintaining) states of exception in the Trump and Biden administrations

AbstractPublic policy choices continue to bring dramatic changes to migration practices in the era of the coronavirus in the United States. In this article, we argue that the COVID‐19 pandemic facilitated the creation and maintenance of states of exception while continuing to destabilize practices at the Mexico–U.S. border through the politics of fear. Specifically, the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), Zero Tolerance Policy (ZTP), COVID‐19 CAPIO, Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACA), and Title 42 used an arcane section of U.S. law to immediately expel asylum seekers and refugees. We show that these policies highlight the formation and maintenance of states of exception consistent with the work of Agamben. We further discuss how the politics of fear can reinforce hegemonic narratives targeting asylum seekers while shaping political agendas that lean toward a specific brand of nationalism using public health as a context. The U.S. government under the Trump administration—and the Biden administration to a lesser, yet continuous, extent—constructed these policies aimed primarily at refugees and asylum seekers from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico thereby violating laws and international treaty obligations.Related ArticlesDuman, Yoav H. 2014. “Reducing the Fog?

Reality Deterioration and Academic Precarity through the Lens of J. S. Le Fanu’s Wylder’s Hand and ‘The Haunted Baronet’

The immersive, fictional space that Irish gothicist Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu calls his reader to occupy has been underexplored in existing critical literature. This article draws on comments made by China Miéville to demonstrate the power of Le Fanu’s efforts to pull readers into his fictional world in the critically neglected Wylder’s Hand and ‘The Haunted Baronet’. This immersion can allow readers to feel the social critiques embedded in this fiction more powerfully because, while imaginatively occupying this world, they are made to witness – and are implicated in the construction of realities in – Le Fanu’s fictional communities. This reality creation is a process that can be better understood through the lens of social constructionism, allowing insight into how Le Fanu’s fictional communities steadily form often unjust, inadequate visions of reality through interactions in those communities. Further, this article explores one potential application of this visceral experience as social critique. When we close the pages of the text, we can start to explore the mirroring of those fictional experiences with the experience of existing in the neoliberal structures present in academia. Such structures are often constructed, like Le Fanu’s fictional realities, into unjust shapes that both victimize the most vulnerable and steadily reveal their inadequacy. The ways in which Wylder’s Hand and ‘The Haunted Baronet’ prompt readers to recognize and move beyond flawed, constructed, deteriorating frameworks highlight the new critiques we can discover in Le Fanu’s fiction by examining the effects of this radical immersion into which the fiction invites us. It also points to the importance of analyzing Le Fanu’s fiction more broadly, beyond his most critically discussed works, to find more insightful ways of reading and understanding the implications of his fiction.

“Nagaland/lim for Christ”: Semiotics in Christianity among the Naga People in Northeast India

Abstract The appropriation of a religious faith in a particular context involves its interpretation within a cultural web of significance. This involves the use of signs and symbols that have acquired specific meanings in a given culture; an analysis of these signs and symbols reveals realities in the society. This article deals with symbolism pertaining to Christianity among the Naga people in Northeast India. Taking the popular slogan “Nagaland/lim for Christ” as the starting point, the article discusses how such symbols reveal a complex interaction of Christian faith and the culture of the land, resulting in the formation of a distinct form of Christianity. The article argues that the slogan is a symbolic representation of how the appropriation of Christianity among the Naga people involves both the articulation of and creation of realities in the culture.

SWOT Analysis of Virtual Reality Creation Equipments

In conditions of isolation, quarantines, and lockdowns under the coronavirus pandemic, technology became the main means of pupil/student-teacher connection and communication, as well as an essential tool for schools to offer continuous education possibilities. A very specific problem, which the secondary vocational schools were facing, was practical vocational training and excursions, which are an important part of apprentices` learning experiences. To help secondary vocational schools to solve this problem the authors have started to consider the development of a virtual reality application, which would enable at least partially to replace personal forms of excursions with their virtual forms. In context of the stated intention, there was elaborated a SWOT analysis of virtual reality creation equipment, at particular cameras with their possible software facilities. In the paper, the authors describe the methodology of the analysis and summarize its main results.

Суспільне уявне як сучасний механізм солідаризації української нації

The article is devoted to the pressing issue of defining modern solidarity mechanisms in the Ukrainian nation, one of which is the public imagination. The methodological basis of the presented intelligence is the scientific work of C.G. Jung, the founder of one of the philosophical concepts of the collective unconscious; the work of French scientist – G. Durand, author of the concept of l’imaginaire – imaginary, who emphasizes that the world around us is the result of a free play of imagination, and modern French sociologist M. Maffesoli, – a cross-cutting problem of his research also poses the phenomenon of its social imaginary embodiment in social and symbolic forms, and several Ukrainian architects – E. Afonin, D. Zaiets, A. Martynov, V. Pliushch, V. Tancher. Based on the analysis of the presented works, the author has obtained the basis for developing a unique “ontology of the imager” – an imaginary image that is always specific. One or another “colour” of the imaginary image gives the semantic meanings that a person remembers following particular objects of reality, including political, as well as a generalized imaginary image as an ideal of actions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviour corresponding to the archetype “Self”, determining the psychological integrity of the individual. It has been confirmed that a person remembers only the most essential characteristics of an object, which constitute a “complete” imaginary image. Still they may lose touch with a particular object, retaining its typical features. This fact makes it possible to state that the type of generalized imaginary image appears as a social imaginary that influences reality creation. At the same time, due to horizontal social ties and the diversity of the individual imagination, “organic” (according to E. Durkheim) solidarity is achieved, which is a kind of strategy to mobilize society, especially in times of severe crises or threats. The public imagination is a “complete” imaginary image, which may lose touch with a particular object but retain its typical features, which allows us to determine its archetypal matrix and modern mechanism of solidarity of the Ukrainian nation.

Shared Reality Effects of Tuning Messages to Multiple Audiences

Our study explores how communicating with audiences who hold opposite opinions about a target person can lead to a biased recall of the target's behaviors depending on whom a shared reality is created with. By extending the standard “saying-is-believing” paradigm to the case of two audiences with opposite attitudes toward a target person, we found that communicators evaluatively tune their message to the attitude of each audience. Still, their later recall of the target's behavior is biased toward the audience's attitude only for the audience with whom they created a shared reality. Shared reality creation was manipulated by receiving feedback that, based on the communicator's message, an audience was either able (success) or unable (failure) to successfully identify the target person, with the former creating a shared reality. These results highlight the importance of shared reality creation for subsequent recall when communicating with multiple audiences on a topic.

Life of Stefan Dečanski by Danilo's Student and by Grigorij Camblak: Comparative Analysis

The purpose of the article is to show how two authors, one Serbian and the other Bulgarian, saw the great Serbian ruler and how they composed his biography. Even though the authors were not contemporaries, their work exhibits similar pattern. However, they write in different styles, and their views and opinions differ. In this article, we will try, with a comparative method, to reliably present the life of Stefan Dečanski from the point of view of two great medieval writers. We set the goal to research biographies of Stefan Dečanski as accurately, neutrally, and objectively as possible, which were written by Danilo's student and by Grigorij Camblak. Our task is to identify all the parts in the biographies that are similar, and then those that are mentioned only in one of the listed works. Given the complexity of the topic, we used a set of methods of which the comparative is dominant. The article consists of two parts - the first gives an overview of ancient Serbian literature and explains medieval biography as a genre, while the second talks about Danilo's student and Grigorij Camblak, the similarities and differences in their work, and then compares what they wrote about. In the end, we concluded everything that was said. The beginnings of authorial literature and works, which are the subject of the article's research, brought with them a new approach to the process of writing, which reached a higher level of artistic formation of biographies. Even though the authors wrote within the canon and observed, to a greater or lesser extent, the stylistic features of everyday literature, they participated in the creation of reality and the spiritual world, as well as a selection of excerpts from the biography of the ruler. Old Serbian literature is rich in genres such as biographies, words of praise, prayers, liturgical songs, messages, etc. The genres of Serbian literature of the Middle Ages and the new century do not match: in the old Serbian literature, there are no novels, stories, historical stories, which we will display in this article. Our research does not stop at the fact that Danilo's student writes in one way about a great historical figure, while Grigorij Camblak writes differently about the same person. We set out to show, through a genre definition, the extent to which these two writers differ and what their view of Stefan Dečanski was. We will try to explain that both authors created their works for certain reasons, which are mostly different, but sometimes similar. Both wrote intending to create a cult of the Serbian king. This article will try to achieve this goal - to answer the question and show the result of a comparative analysis of the works of two authors with the same topic.

Panel Discussion “The Processes of Reality Creation: Metaverses of Visionaries and Projects of its Embodiment” (March 30, 2022)

Report on the Panel Discussion “The Processes of Reality Creation: Metaverses of Visionaries and Projects of its Embodiment” (March 30, 2022) in the framework of the International Scientific Conference “The Sixth Lem’s Readings” in memory of Stanislaw Lem (Samara, March 29-31, 2022).

The Philosophy of the Game in the American Ludic Novels of Pre-Digital and Digital Era

The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. by R. Coover and Remade by N. Stephenson offer differing views of the evolving concept of “game” in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The purpose of the study is to reveal the implications of the game theme in these novels as well as the transformation of the game concept in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Coover’s novel analysis in parallel to Kant’s concepts of a man’s ability for reasoning reveals how the imaginary world of the game can become selfsufficient and reduce the creator of the game to no more than one of its participants. Having got out of control the game imposes its own logic on all participants including its creator. It no longer obeys the creators will and the decision center moved to the analogue of Kant’s hypothetical super intelligence phenomenon. Stephenson’s novel offers an example of the gaming reality creation in globalization era. Stephenson’s game presents a dialectical contradiction: it replaces reality but simultaneously serves as a tool for escaping to this reality. Advanced digital technologies create the necessary gaming infrastructure and provide users with the material culture, socio-economic mechanisms for the distribution of online and offline resources, and spiritual culture. This makes the game world as a multidimensional form of reality. The survey has revealed several tendencies of digital technological development such as the set of technological tools available to the designer of the virtual world, the less this game world will differ from authentic reality. In the digital era, the online game becomes a way of active and intensive interaction with the external world rather than an escape from reality.

João Silva, Entertaining Lisbon: Music, Theatre & Modern Life in the Late 19th Century

Joao Silva was awarded his PhD by the University of Newcastle for his thesis on music and theatre in Portugal. In his book Entertaining Lisbon, a captivating work of Cultural History research, he “studies the connections between construction of the modern Portuguese nation-state and popular entertainment between 1867 and 1910, focusing on theatrical music” (p. 1). He analyses the creation of realities and social images through music, explaining how cultural construction was related to the ide...

Tacitly Loaded Concepts (Multiverse before Cognitiion)

Human beings employ concepts not merely to re-constitute their worlds, realities, including their selves, minds, consciousness, lives and loves but to fabricate and constitute these things. As well as their perceptions, thinking, feelings, emotions and reactions to, interpretations of, developing, maintaining and transforming these things. In this way ideas and concepts enable the creation of realities, inner and external worlds and lives. But this constitution is not absolutely unlimited or free, but restricted, determined, following norms, rules, -isms, patterns, customs, traditions, social, cultural, historical, inter-subjective and many other rules, limits, aims, objectives, purposes, goals, etc. Concepts, conceptual practices, usage and meanings are loaded and associated with pre-determined -isms, pre-suppositions, assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, restrictions, perspectives, frames of reference, and other phenomena that will determine how they are used, their effects, results, consequences, etc. The above is earth, and anthropo-centered and restricted. The origins, nature, past, present and future is explored. This is suggested as point of reference and not the minute and irrelevant planet earth. Changes, modifications even the destruction of this planet will have little effect on and consequencs for our galaxy and the universe. Against or in this universal context the nature, the functions, aims, objectives, methods, techniques, relevance, meaning and possibility of philosophy and philosophizing is explored. Reductionistic humans are obsessed with and drawn to minimalist and generalized patterns or sets and systems of ideas as explanations and underlying foundations of complex realities and phenomena.

The Spread of Anti‐Islamic Sentiment: A Comparison between the United States and Western Europe

Since the 1980s, anti‐Islamic sentiment has grown in both the United States and Western Europe. However, the political and electoral success of anti‐Islamic actors has been asymmetrical between these regions. In most countries in Western Europe, anti‐Islamic sentiment is still contained to the fringes. Conversely, it has become highly influential in decision‐making circles in the United States. In this article we show that the demand for anti‐Islamic sentiment and the rhetorical strategies of anti‐Islamic actors have been similar in both parts of the world, but differ in their organizational strength and opportunity structures. In Western Europe, such sentiments are contained to radical right‐wing parties, activists, and think tanks. In contrast, anti‐Islamic forces in the United States have formed a strong, well‐funded, and organized coalition capable of influencing the White House, most recently through Donald Trump's presidency. Using a supply and demand theoretical framework, we argue that these differing supply‐side organizational and opportunity structures help explain the relative differences in success between the two regions.Related ArticlesAntwi‐Boateng, Osman. 2017. “The Rise of Pan‐Islamic Terrorism in Africa: A Global Security Challenge.” Politics & Policy 45 (2): 253‐284. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12195Maggio, Jim. 2007. “The Presidential Rhetoric of Terror: The (Re)Creation of Reality Immediately after 9/11.” Politics & Policy 35 (4): 810‐835. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-1346.2007.00085.xStockemer, Daniel. 2016. “Is the Turnout Function in Democracies and Nondemocracies Alike or Different?” Politics & Policy 44 (5): 889‐915. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12174

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BENEFITS AND THREATS FOR SOCIETY

In the 20th century, a huge expansion of new information technologies began and in the 21st century, there was a rapid development of digital media and information technologies with people utilizing virtual reality to fulfill their needs. With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence there was a greater increase in activities that allowed technology to move in space, as well as to process symbolic information. However, now that humans have relationships with Artificial Intelligence, there is a need to modify the theory of social creation of reality. This will allow for a sociological analysis of social reality at the level of cyberspace.
