In December of 1900 Max Planck defined the discrete quantum of electromagnetic energy. Planck’s quantum was subsequently expanded by Einstein and others, forming a new perspective of reality. Central to the quantum perspective is a probability function that disagrees with the classical Greek concept of a cosmic architecture that was explainable by objective and standard geometric principles. The quantum brought to center stage a rationality that hinges on subjectivity, observer experiences, and randomness. The quantum significantly modified classical principles initially established by the Greek philosophers that supported an objective and deterministic reality. With the quantum came beliefs that nature and reality are dependent only on our experiences; reality is not a single objective event, but an array of subjective interpretations. A conscious observer, his experiences, inductive thinking, subjectivity, and metaphorical interpretations within the concept of complementarity became the norm. Within this framework of reality are four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. This effort introduces a fifth force—grace—that is also present within the fabric of creation. Grace is actually the envelope in which the four fundamental forces dwell. The focus of this book is that grace, when recognized as the fifth force, can become a mediating and common denominator for much of the religious polarization that is evident across our globe..

Celebrity news, video games, cookie-cutter schools, and shopping, shopping, shopping As entertainers, corporations, and even the government pander to the lowest common denominator, American life becomes increasingly vicarious, prefabricated, and bereft of meaning This book examines contemporary American consciousness, considering the factors that have driven society toward gossip and sensationalism at the cost of substance and depth. Arden discusses the growing epidemic of acrimony, superficiality, attention deficit disorder, and complaints of ennui.

The book is provocative reading for concerned citizens, as well as for scholars and researchers involved with contemporary American culture and society..

Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity?say, an arrow in your heart?you'll truly enjoy the next story. There's also a smattering of flash fiction and psychedelia; a straight-out story where things aren't what they seem, poetry that takes you from the perverse to the sublime, some magic realism, science fiction, and a few letters to another species thrown in for good measure. We haven't forgotten those of you with a literary bent. In addition, the artwork in this issue is particularly strong, with oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and photo illustrations complementing the words with which they are paired. Please let us know what you think of Issue 1, and thanks for reading GUD..
