48 HOURS TO ENLIGHTENMENT. Is it really possible? Yes, if a person's mind is ready and diligent.Enlightenment is not some otherworldly, indefinable state that is to be achieved in the distant future by grace, austerity, mysticism, or classic mindfulness and meditation. No, it is not.  It doesn't take years of spiritual practice or devotion to a teacher. As a matter of fact, those will likely prevent it.  Rather, it comes solely from one source: deeply comprehending reality as it is, both inwardly and outwardly.  The words within this book can potentially alter one's fundamental outlook on religion and philosophy. If the concepts herein are deeply understood and internalized, a seeker will understand truth, and enlightenment will be there. The bedrock of certainty will replace the quicksand of doubt.  This journey together will bring an end to many questions about life's ultimate meaning and purpose. A new perspective on living will be unveiled, and life will be understood on a vastly deeper level. Sorrow and ignorance will gently yield to quietude and joy.  What will be the tools utilized to purge the darkness of ignorance? The blazing torches of self-reliance, observation, reason, and a burning desire to see things exactly as they are.  There will be no unfounded assumptions. There will be no feeble lines of reasoning.  This is not a volume that will regurgitate old theories based on belief or half-thought-out speculations. The author has soundly and completely rejected parroting any system.  Enlightenment does not come from mindlessly repeating the words of others, nor by subscribing to belief. It can come only from being a light unto oneself and standing on one's own two feet. Therein, lies liberation. Together, friend, let's begin the crossing. This is the promise: Once this all-encompassing illusion of the separateness of the Individual and Existence is destroyed, the way will be clear for a fuller and freer life of unity, joyfulness, certainty, integrity, and truth.

For the past two decades, Thomas Gordon Smith has played a central role in the revival of classicism in contemporary architecture in America. In the late 1970s he became a key figure in the development of Post-Modernism but after contributing to that movement's seminal exhibition at the 1980 Venice Biennale he rejected the ironical approach of Robert Venturi and the decontextualization of Charles Moore, to develop an architecture which draws freely on the twenty-five centuries of the classical tradition. His conviction in the enduring relevance of the tradition to contemporary life has resulted in buildings which in terms of materials and function are just as much a product of the modern world as a High-Tech office building or a Decon museum extension; but in addition to admirably fulfilling the job for which they were intended, they also have the rare quality of engaging us intellectually. This extensively illustrated monograph presents Thomas Gordon Smith's buildings and projects for the first time. A biographical essay explores the polymathic range of his other activities, including his influential role as an educator, commentator on Vitruvius, historian of the Greek Revival, painter of frescoes, and designer and collector of furniture.

IntroductionOver the past decades, our society has been completely reshaped and overturned by the rising global phenomenon of digitalization. With the rapidly decreasing costs of high-speed broadband and consumer electronics, digital media now impacts most aspects of our daily lives. From sharing stories with our best friends to advertising new brands by young entrepreneurs, digitalization has revolutionized the way we communicate with one another. Social Media platforms are the drivers of this revolution; long gone are the days of 30-minute phone calls with your friend, or writing postcards to long-lost relatives. Social Media platforms allow you to share every thought or experience in the form of writing, images, and videos to anyone anywhere in the world instantly. To the common user, social media is a great and effective tool to keep in touch with old friends across the world. To the cunning mind of the entrepreneur or business owner, the new power offered by social media represents opportunity--instant access to millions of customers with the simple click of a button. A large number of social media platforms exist today, but only a few of these have a truly global reach: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, twitter, google+, Tumblr, Pinterest...
