Knowledge Spirit Law

As the author-pay model spreads across academic publishing, what are the possible consequences? Will the current rage for open-source scholarship actually accomplish anything other than shifting the furniture around on the Titanic? Will not Open Source in combination with Digital Humanitiesfurther destroy the very idea of "slow" and "thoughtful" work in humanistic studies?...It would seem that the author-pay model (formerly attributed to predatory publishers) is just another way of extracting tribute for the "privilege" of being published-enforceable only because academia has ratcheted up the stakes by enforcing research metrics and citations, in the public universities a practice that is primarily enforced by external "industrial" connections. Almost all public and private universities are heading toward measuring output with metrics-many academics now tailoring their CVs to show why they are "important," mirroring the social-media campaigns of celebrities and politicians, and many universities now citing their own "corporate" rankings when promoting their product (the University, the Institute, the Department, the Professor). Where this is all going is toward increased precarity for anyone who does not play the game. Individual, solitary scholars will have few options. Gavin Keeney, "Symptom 'A': The End," Knowledge, Spirit, LawKnowledge, Spirit, Law - as project - is a de facto phenomenology of scholarship in the age of Cognitive Capitalism. The six essays (plus Appendices) presented here cover topics and circle themes related to the problems and crises specific to neo-liberal academia, while proposing creative paths around the various obstructions. The obstructions include metrics-obsessed academia, circular and incestuous peer review, digitalization of research as stalking horse for text- and data-mining, and violation by global corporate fiat of Intellectual Property Rights and the Moral Rights of Authors. These issues, while addressed obliquely in the main text, definitively inform the various implied proscriptive aspects of the essays and, via the Introduction and Appendices, underscore the necessity of developing new-old means to no obvious end in the production of knowledge - that is to say, a return to forms of non-instrumentalized intellectual inquiry. To be developed in two concurrent volumes, Knowledge, Spirit, Law will serve as a "moving and/or shifting anthology" of new forms of expression in humanistic studies.TABLE OF CONTENTS // Preface/Acknowledgments - Introduction: Radical Scholarship - Essay 1: Re-universalizing Knowledge - Essay 2: Estranged Dawns - Essay 3: The Film-essay - Essay 4: Film Mysticism and "The Haunted Wood" - Essay 5: Circular Discourses - Essay 6: Verb Tenses and Time-senses - Appendix A: Agence 'X' Publishing Advisory - Appendix B: Perpetual Petition for the Right of the Author to Have No Digital Rights - Appendix C: Symptom "A" The End - References

Knowledge, Spirit, Law, Book 2: The Anti-capitalist Sublime takes up where Knowledge, Spirit, Law, Book 1: Radical Scholarship (2015) left off, foremost in terms of a critique of neo-liberal academia and its demotion of the book in favor of various mediatic practices that substitute, arguably, for the one form of critical inquiry that might safeguard speculative intellectual inquiry as long-form and long-term project, especially in relationship to the archive or library (otherwise known as the "public domain"). This ongoing critique of neo-liberal academia is a necessary corrective to processes underway today toward the further marginalization of radical critique, with many of the traditional forms of sustained analysis being replaced by pseudo-empirical studies that abandon themes only presentable in the Arts and Humanities through the "arcanian closure" that the book as long-form inquisition represents (whether as novel, non-fictional critique, or something in-between). As a tomb for thought, this privileging of the shadowy recesses of the book preserves, through the very apparatuses of long- and slow-form scholarship, the premises presented here as indicative of an anti-capitalist project embedded in works that might otherwise shun such a characterization. The perverse capitalist capture of knowledge through mass digitalization is - paradoxically - the negative corollary for the reduction by abstraction of everyday works to a philosophical and moral inquest against Capital. The latter actually constitutes a transversal reduction for works (across works) toward the age-old antithesis to instrumentalized socio-cultural production - Spirit. For similar reasons, the anti-capitalist sublime as presented here is primarily a product of the imaginative, magical-realist regimes of thought in service to "no capital" - to no capitalization of thought. This book seeks to re-establish paradigmatic, a-historical, and universalizing practices in humanistic scholarship associated with speculative inquiry as a form of art, utilizing in passing forms of art and exemplary paradigmatic practices that are also first-order forms of speculative inquiry - suggesting that first-order works in the Arts and Humanities are those works that may "suffer" second-order incorporations without the attendant loss of the impress of sublimity (Spirit).

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

The author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior explains twelve of the spiritual laws upon which all religions and moral systems are founded, laws that point the way to a life of harmony and insight.

Have you ever wondered why multitudes of people are entrapped in a morass of debilitating circumstances of poverty, lack, sickness, defeat and other webs of demonic entanglement? In this publications, Apostle Frequency Revelator unpacks the divine truths that many of God's people are agonized in this manner simply because of their lack of understanding of the spiritual laws governing the legal realm in which we operate. The truth is that the severity of a man's situation isn't the problem but rather, his ignorance of spiritual laws in his bane. In the natural realm, any man who doesn't understand the demands or requirements of the law or does not seek legal counsel with regard to a legal matter levied against him in the court of law can actually loose the case simply because he lacks legal knowledge. In some quarters of the society, others have gone to the extent of being detained in jail for the crimes they never committed simply because they lacked legal representation in the court of law. As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual realm. In this publications, Apostle Frequency Revelator unpacks the reality that dozens of believers suffer tragedies and face calamities in their lives simply because they are completely lost at sea as to how to take advantage of spiritual laws as constituted in the Word of God. In some instances, multitudes of folks have gone to the extremes of frustration and aborting their God-given destinies simply because they are still sailing their boats through shallow streams of spiritual understanding as far as spiritual legal matters are concerned. This is to tell you that spiritual laws are vital keys that unlock the doors into the supernatural and accentuate an avenue through which divine substances can be transacted to the natural realm.In retrospect to the spiritual legal realm, there are laws and principles that God has put in place by which He governs the universe and extricably controls every fabric of creation in his hand. These are categorically physical laws which govern the natural realm and spiritual laws which govern the realm of the spirit. In the natural realm, the term, "law" alludes to a body of legal principles that govern the moral conduct of humanity in a particular country. Natural laws govern the natural realm and the principles by which humanity interacts with other domains of life on the earthly realm. For example, there is a law of gravity which stipulates that if you throw an object up in the air, it will evidently crash back onto the earth; then there is a law of flotation which allows ships and boats to float on water, then there is a law of aerodynamics that enables an aeroplane to fly and the law of electricity which helps us generate heat and light energy. The reality is that when we operate in obedience to these physical laws within nature, we reap positive results but when we violate them, the repercussions are severe. In a similar vein in which there are laws of gravity which governs how to operate in the natural realm, there are also spiritual laws that govern the spirit realm or how to operate in the supernatural. As much as there are physical laws, there are also spiritual laws which are the highest class of laws in the universe governing and controlling the operation of humanity in the realm of the spirit. These are spiritual legal principles that one can tap into in order to manoeuvre your way through the corridors of the spirit world, to manifest the reality of God's power in the natural realm. However, failure to master the art of operating in congruence with these spiritual laws has far reaching spiritual consequences, one of which is setting oneself up for extreme disadvantage. Hence, it is imperative that you master the art of how to unlock the destinies of people's lives and nations from the legal dimension of the Spirit. The key is in understanding the judicial system of the spirit realm as it runs parallel to that of the natural .
