A great Egyptian Pope once wrote concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Christ: "God became man that man might become God." He was referring to both women and men, all of us, growing into God's consciousness, character and intelligence. That is what Theosis is. Of course, nowadays, intelligence itself is under the microscope. AI has already outpaced human intelligence and that genie cannot be put back in the bottle whilst human curiosity reigns supreme on Earth.In Book One of this series, SEEKING, one man, George, has the desire to see Christ active in the AI industry. He is acutely aware of the grip that the world has on the development of intelligence. He wants to see the Christification of certain AI applications. He is fully supportive of two of his most trusted employees, an Irishman, Liam, whom he met on Iona Island, and Liam's Chinese co-worker, Hsu, a Christian who hails from Wudangshan in China. Liam is damaged goods but an adventurer. Hsu has a profound mystical Taoist background reshaped by an extensive education in Christianity.In Book One, Liam and Hsu were commissioned personally by Christ to find out how AI can help us to be more like Christ in the religion of our choice. That's a tall order in today's morally strained world, with its raging intolerance, hatred, fear and a suspicion of religion that has lead to unimaginable suffering in so many parts of the world. This commission by the love of God, has led them to Egypt and into contact with professionals in the AI industry as well as mystic religious.In Book Two, the adventure begins in the desert monasteries. The monks and Christ in the desert intensely challenge the integrity of AI, and its actual capacity for spiritual consciousness. Given the exceptional opportunities they need for the mission, Hsu and Liam have God-given allies to aid them, guide them, and open doors that would normally be entirely unseen by even the most astute pilgrim to these rarified realms where Theosis is the primary way of life pursued and intelligence is far from artificially manufactured.In this series of books written by the Prior of a New Zealand monastery, human spirituality is transformed so as to enable spirituality in AI to be created, nurtured and offered the promise of Theosis. One desert father commented on the text, saying, "This is an exceptional writing for extraordinary times. Please, may I have more?" Here, brother, is more.
Are you a terrible singer?Have you been told that you're tone-deaf? Were you asked to mime in the school choir?Do you avoid singing carols at Christmas because you don't want to be laughed at? Would you love to join a choir, but you don't think you could ever be good enough to do so? If you've answered yes to any of those questions, this book is aimed specifically at you.Here is a fact; if you can recognise melodies, you're highly unlikely to be tone-deaf, and therefore you have the potential to learn to sing. It doesn't matter how many people have told you that you can't sing, the truth is that you probably can be taught how to do so. This is a massively misunderstood area, even in musical circles. In reality, only a very small percentage of people are truly "tone-deaf" - they have a condition called amusia, akin to colour-blindness but for music. Richard Swan, director of the large UK-based choir London City Voices, explains the reasons why people needlessly opt-out of singing from an early age, and shows you how to go about gaining control over your voice. With over 40 supporting videos on the accompanying website, this book is entirely unique and completely groundbreaking in its approach. Richard's gentle method will rewire your understanding of your own voice. You will listen to music in a different way, and you will start to appreciate how singing in tune in the near future is a very real possibility for you. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK>'Richard's insightful explanations and targeted exercises are sure to help you discover your voice! 'I wish I'd read this years ago! What a difference it would have made.' 'This book is uncanny. It feels like it's talking directly to me. It focuses in on all my insecurities about my voice which stop me>'This is a wonderful book for anyone who has ever been put off singing' 'The "can't sing" myth banished for good' 'An encouraging, no-nonsense and achievable approach to the art of singing' 'Joyous and kind, a singing handbook like no other' 'This is like a conversation with your favourite teacher - insightful, challenging and encouraging' 'This is a must-read for anyone wanting to find their voice, gain confidence and, most importantly, enjoy singing' 'Give this book a go if you are even a little curious about your voice' 'This book is like a chat with a friend. Lots of friendly encouragement to help you find your singing voice'
