Illuminating the Narrow Gate

The Writing on the Wall for the Mainstream Western Religions: Volume II

By: Karl R. Luther

Do you desire the truth about God, our foremost religions, the purpose of life and the future of our planet? If so, Illuminating the Narrow Gate will guide and empower you to fulfill your destiny of transcending the darkness and embracing an enlightened spirituality. Blessed with astonishing insights and revelations, this revolutionary book heralds a global awakening and the inevitable doom of institutional religion. Volume II contains 15 appendixes that substantiate and enhance the revelations of Volume I. Appendixes A (“Reincarnation”) and B (“Spirit Possession”) present scientific and clinical evidence that demonstrates the reality of those phenomena. The next three appendixes are primarily dedicated to dating the Book of Daniel. Leveraging the breakthrough of Illuminating the Narrow Gate’s paradigm shift, Appendix D (“Redirecting the Debate About Daniel”) decimates the prevailing scholarly conclusion that Daniel’s prophecies were a hoax written in the 2nd century BCE. Instead, this book within a book proves they were penned as advertised in the 6th century BCE while debunking the fundamentalist view that the biblical book is inerrant. The next six appendixes primarily present ancient history that demonstrates the fulfillment of prophetic passages from Daniel. Four of them—Appendix F (“The Beast With Ten Horns”), Appendix G (“Constantine the Great”), Appendix J (“The King of the End Times”) and Appendix K (“Understanding the 69 ‘Sevens’”)—deliver the spine-tingling details of how the future was foretold with stunning accuracy and precision for five centuries after the date when all scholars agree Daniel was on the historical record (160s BCE). Appendix L (“The Catholic Church in the 20th Century”) shows that although the Church no longer champions crusades, sequesters Jews in ghettos, or tortures and kills those who believe differently, its underlying darkness has continued unabated. The majority of this other book within a book details how the Vatican helped Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler gain dictatorial power and then made strategic alliances with them, ignored their pre-war crimes and assaults upon the Jews, sanctioned their predatory aggression upon other nations, and turned a blind eye to the Holocaust. After illuminating the essence of the papal choices before and during World War II, the appendix exposes the criminal nature of the Vatican’s subsequent financial affairs. It shows how the sudden death of Pope John Paul I in 1978 was most likely a blackmail-enabled murder by the Vatican Bank’s underworld partners. After two short appendixes explain passages from Revelation, the book concludes with Appendix O (“The Impact on Islam”). It shows how the book’s insights are also inscribing the writing on the wall for Islam. * You don’t need to purchase Volume II if you only want the book’s core insights and revelations. A PDF document of the end matter published in Volume II (Endnotes, Bibliography, Index, et al.) can be downloaded for free from the book’s website to make Volume I a self-standing book.

Neural Masses and Fields: Modelling the Dynamics of Brain Activity

By: Karl Friston

Biophysical modelling of brain activity has a long and illustrious history and has recently profited from technological advances that furnish neuroimaging data at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Neuronal modelling is a very active area of research, with applications ranging from the characterization of neurobiological and cognitive processes, to constructing artificial brains in silico and building brain-machine interface and neuroprosthetic devices. Biophysical modelling has always benefited from interdisciplinary interactions between different and seemingly distant fields; ranging from mathematics and engineering to linguistics and psychology. This Research Topic aims to promote such interactions by promoting papers that contribute to a deeper understanding of neural activity as measured by fMRI or electrophysiology. In general, mean field models of neural activity can be divided into two classes: neural mass and neural field models. The main difference between these classes is that field models prescribe how a quantity characterizing neural activity (such as average depolarization of a neural population) evolves over both space and time as opposed to mass models, which characterize activity over time only; by assuming that all neurons in a population are located at (approximately) the same point. This Research Topic focuses on both classes of models and considers several aspects and their relative merits that: span from synapses to the whole brain; comparisons of their predictions with EEG and MEG spectra of spontaneous brain activity; evoked responses, seizures, and fitting data - to infer brain states and map physiological parameters.

Asian Contagion

The Causes And Consequences Of A Financial Crisis

By: Karl Jackson

For much of the second half of the twentieth century, the Asian economic "miracle" has fueled the greatest expansion of wealth for the largest population in the history of mankind. In the summer of 1997, thirty years of economic boom came crashing back to earth. The reality of unrestrained speculation, inefficiently regulated currency exchange, banking instability and bad loans have struck the much-vaunted "Asian Tigers" like Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, and, finally, Japan, casting a shadow of uncertainty on a region recently to the fore in the world economic system. Recovery depends largely on reform within the Asian economies themselves and a cold assessment of the structural weaknesses that lay under the surface, but only now have come to light. The implications for world economies and, more broadly, the dynamics of world politics, are tremendous.

Porphyrin Science

With Applications to Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine

By: Karl M. Kadish

Porphyrins, phthalocyanines and their numerous analogues and derivatives are materials of tremendous importance in chemistry, materials science, physics, biology and medicine. They are the red color in blood (heme) and the green in leaves (chlorophyll); they are also excellent ligands that can coordinate with almost every metal in the Periodic Table. Grounded in natural systems, porphyrins are incredibly versatile and can be modified in many ways; each new modification yields derivatives demonstrated new chemistry, physics and biology, with a vast array of medicinal and technical applications. As porphyrins are currently employed as platforms for study of theoretical principles and applications in a wide variety of fields, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science represents a timely ongoing series dealing in detail with the synthesis, chemistry, physicochemical and medical properties and applications of polypyrrole macrocycles. Professors Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard are internationally recognized experts in the research field of porphyrins, each having his own separate area of expertise in the field. Between them, they have published over 1500 peer-reviewed papers and edited more than three dozen books on diverse topics of porphyrins and phthalocyanines. In assembling the new volumes of this unique Handbook, they have selected and attracted the very best scientists in each sub-discipline as contributing authors of the chapters. This Handbook will prove to be a modern authoritative treatise on the subject as it is a collection of up-to-date works by world-renowned experts in the field. Complete with hundreds of figures, tables and structural formulas, and thousands of literature citations, all researchers and graduate students in this field will find the Handbook of Porphyrin Science an essential, major reference source for many years to come.
