An account of Western visual technologies since the Renaissance traces a history of the increasing control of light's intrinsic excess. Light is the condition of all vision, and the visual media are our most important explorations of this condition. The history of visual technologies reveals a centuries-long project aimed at controlling light. In this book, Sean Cubitt traces a genealogy of the dominant visual media of the twenty-first century—digital video, film, and photography—through a history of materials and practices that begins with the inventions of intaglio printing and oil painting. Attending to the specificities of inks and pigments, cathode ray tubes, color film, lenses, screens, and chips, Cubitt argues that we have moved from a hierarchical visual culture focused on semantic values to a more democratic but value-free numerical commodity. Cubitt begins with the invisibility of black, then builds from line to surface to volume and space. He describes Rembrandt's attempts to achieve pure black by tricking the viewer and the rise of geometry as a governing principle in visual technology, seen in Dürer, Hogarth, and Disney, among others. He finds the origins of central features of digital imaging in nineteenth-century printmaking; examines the clash between the physics and psychology of color; explores the representation of space in shadows, layers, and projection; discusses modes of temporal order in still photography, cinema, television, and digital video; and considers the implications of a political aesthetics of visual technology.

A comprehensive guide to the therapeutic benefits of light and color and how they affect our physical and psychological well-being • Shares scientific research on how different wavelengths of light influence our cells, brain function, sleep patterns, and emotional stability • Examines several forms of light therapy, including chromotherapy, heliotherapy, actinotherapy, and thermotherapy • Explains how to use light and color therapy, maximize the benefits of sunlight, and avoid the health risks of new light sources such as compact fluorescents and LEDs Beginning with sun worship in prehistory and sunshine therapies in ancient Egypt, Greece, and India, light has long been associated with the sublime, the divine, and healing. Yet only recently have we begun to understand how different parts of the light spectrum, from infrared to ultraviolet, can affect our physical and psychological well-being. Covering the historic, scientific, and spiritual aspects of light and its role in energy medicine, Anadi Martel explores the vibrational nature of light and the interaction between light, biology, and consciousness. He demonstrates light’s incredible effects on the physical, energetic, and cognitive dimensions of life and examines several forms of light therapy, including chromotherapy (color therapy), heliotherapy (sun therapy), actinotherapy (ultraviolet therapy), and thermotherapy (infrared therapy). He details how to use light therapy daily, get optimal benefits from sunlight, and avoid the health risks of new artificial lighting such as compact fluorescents and LEDs. Combining his own 30 years of research with practical insight from the many phototherapy pioneers he’s encountered, the author examines scientific studies on how specific wavelengths of light influence our cells and DNA, brain function, sleep patterns, and emotional stability; speed the healing of wounds; and are effective in the treatment of disease, including arthritis, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain and nerve injuries. Exploring the spiritual aspects of light, the author explains why auras and halos have been used to represent sages and saints of all traditions, revealing the intimate link between light and consciousness. Investigating the many laser, monochrome, audiovisual, and infrared machines designed to heal disease and treat emotional disorders, Martel also reveals promising medical applications for light that are currently in development, inviting the reader not only to appreciate the complexities of light but to maximize its therapeutic dimensions.

As a poet, philosopher, and cancer survivor, Mark Nepo has been breaking a path of spiritual inquiry for more than thirty years. In his new book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author explores how the soul works in the world. Called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time," this beloved teacher explores what it means to become our truest self through the ongoing and timeless journey of awakening to the dynamic wholeness of life, which is messy and unpredictable. Nepo navigates some of the soul's deepest and most ancient questions, such as: What does it mean to inhabit the world? How do we stay vital and buoyant amid the storms of life? What is the secret to coming alive? Nepo affirms that not only is the soul's journey inevitable, it is essential to our survival. The human journey is how the force of life grows us, and no matter where we go we can't escape this foundational truth: What's in the way is the way. As Nepo writes, "The point of experience is not to escape life but to live it." Featured on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday program, Nepo's Seven Thousand Ways to Listen has inspired millions of people to redefine themselves in the face of life's challenges. Comforting, moving, and spiritually practical, The Endless Practice is filled with universal insights and stories woven with guidance and practice, which will bring the reader closer to living life to the fullest.

What We’ve Forgotten is an ancient text for modern times that promises to undermine systems of oppression through the power of wonder and magic available to us all. Meeting at the intersection of social justice, technology, and witchery, it’s magic book for the tech world that takes readers on an active quest through the cosmos of consciousness. Shining new light on the old ways, What We’ve Forgotten is a choose your own adventure book of real magic. Amy Miranda leads readers through a Temple of Wonder in an active meditation where each chapter is a different room. Amy takes us through portals in the cosmos of consciousness most of us have forgotten to reconnect us all into the deep magic of life. Unlike most books on magic, What We’ve Forgotten recreates the mystery and adventure of deep journey work, leading readers to their deepest memories and hidden truths. Amy Miranda is not your usual witch – unless your witch quotes Public Enemy while communing with ascended masters. Amy always knew she was a magician – just not the kind that pulled rabbits out of hats, rather the kind that invited people down the rabbit hole. In What We’ve Forgotten, that invite is extended to us all, creating a literary VR-experience where readers will remember their very own magic. In this heartbreaking and hilarious work Amy shares the historical, scientific (she will definitely take readers to Nerdtown), and cultural traditions which ground the work of cosmic consciousness, and its interdimensional exploration. Through this experience, readers will not only have the opportunity to engage with their own cosmic consciousness, but begin to see that our world can achieve collective liberation not only through the disengagement with systems of oppression, but through the re-engagement of wonder, and enchantment that lives within us all. “Amy Miranda is relentless in her revealing of the power of art, written word and fact ..freeing people from the chains of The Uninvited. This book connects us. “ – Chuck D, Public Enemy ” In her brilliant book “What We’ve Forgotten”, Amy Miranda invites you to join her into a temple of remembering. The book takes us back into the adventure and ceremonies that hold the promise of how we can bring in magic and the goodness of life. What a beautiful way to work. Amy Miranda will inspire you to engage in spiritual practices so you can see the illusion we have been living in and with the assistance of spiritual practices we achieve collective liberation, a deep connection with nature, and a renewed love for life. What We’ve Forgotten will change readers’ lives and is such an important book for the times we live in as we learn how to heal ourselves, enliven our connection with Nature, and connect with Source. This book is like a guided tour leading readers to their deepest wonders and hidden treasures. And it is also beautifully written. Amy’s challenging beginnings ended up polishing her soul and spirit so she could be a leader for these times. ” – Sandra Ingerman, MA, Counseling Psychology international shamanic teacher and an award winning author of 12 books including “Medicine for the Earth” and “The Book of Ceremony” “What We’ve Forgotten is a deeply personal and—dare I say it—truly fun exploration of magic and mysticism. Amy’s sparkling wit and down-to-earth explanations provide an optimistic, friendly, engaging DIY guide to working with the magical realities both outside and within each of us. “ – Michael M. Hughes, author of Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change. “Reading Amy Miranda’s book is like having a deep talk over tea on a rainy afternoon with a dear friend. Her wisdom and experience shine through on the page. An absolute must read.” – Heather Matarazzo, Actress, Writer, Human Being

This is the most informative and thorough book on Dzogchen available. These teachings are on Dzogchen, the heart essence of the ancient Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Exploring this esoteric subject in print for the first time, His Holiness offers the reader insights into one of Buddhism's most profound systems of meditation. He discusses both the philosophic foundations and the practices of this system—taking into account the approaches of various schools and teachers. Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, His Holiness sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses questions such as why Dzogchen is called "the pinnacle of all vehicles," what are its special features, and what are the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths which a Dzogchen practitioner should know.

Prometheus R&D argued and defended the opinion that synesthesia rather than being a mind anomaly is a norm of human psychic perception, imagination, and creativity manifested in non-verbal thinking, realized by either involuntary or by purposeful comparison of different modalities, on the basis of structural, semantic, or emotional similarities. In this context, synesthesia associates with cultural aspects rather than being a biological phenomenon, moreover, Bulat Galeyev persistently stressed that language, monosensory, and bisensory arts, serve as the “testing areas” where synaesthesia is formed and most actively cultivated.

This book answers the question to the most concealed practice in the Bardo Todol, commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. What is the true intent of the Secret of the Four Wisdoms Gathered into the Clear Hollow Mysterious Passage of Vajrasatva? After eliminating all other possibilities you will discover that Trekcho and Togal are the one answer to this mystery. The encounter with the Vajrasatva Mystery is an Imbedded Clue to Trekcho and Togal which reveal Clear Light Evenness, not only in the after death state, but equally in the living state. Trekcho, Letting Go and Togal, the Four Stages of Soaring On or Skull Crossing are the deepest secrets of Dzogchen, the Natural Great Completion. In Nyingma these are restricted secret practices kept from the public eye. Whereas, in the Kagyu school and Bonpo tradition these same methods are open to one and all. You are the decider on these two attitudes. Let your thought be lighted by the words of the Lion of the Sakyas, "Ananda? I have set forth the Dharma without making any distinction of esoteric and exoteric doctrine; there is nothing, Ananda, with regard to the teachings that the Tathagata holds to the last with the closed fist." I hope you will find the freedom of your own experience in the detailed observations and in depth examinations of these secret methods of Dzogchen. The text is in no way, nor tries to be a teaching text, a manual, nor a guidebook on Trekcho and Togal or Bardo, for I am in no way at all, a teacher, an expert nor a guide in these practices. Nor do I ever wish to be one. This essay is an answer to a life long question I have had since reading the Bardo Thodol as a young person. "What is the true meaning of Vajrasattva, the Mysterious Passageway and the Union of the Four Wisdoms?" It just so happens that after one goes through all possibilities of what this means one finally comes to the sacred secret teachings of Dzogchen's Trekcho, Togal and Bardo. So I have had to explain what little that I know about these special secret practices to answer the primary question this text attempts to answer. Why wade through the torrent of concepts on this when we can go directly to the clear, most reasonable and satisfactory answers that leave no shadow of hesitation? Vajrasattva stands for the Primordial Clear Light Void as Love and Compassion. The secret Mysterious Way of the pure Clear Passage of Vajrasatva is the Kati, running from the Heart to the Eyes. Within this Kati are the Four Lamps. From Clear Light, through the Open Kati these Lamps give forth an arising to the Four Togal Appearances. Since it is found in the highest wisdom texts from Dzogchen on Trekcho, Togal and Bardo and Tibetan's favorite book on guidance in the afterlife, it is worthy of taking a serious look.
