Technology Religion

More than half of American adults and more than 75 percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions.

Today’s technology has overtaken religion as the chief influence on twenty-first century life and community. In Tech Agnostic, Harvard and MIT’s influential humanist chaplain Greg Epstein explores what it means to be a critical thinker with respect to this new faith. Encouraging listeners to reassert their common humanity beyond the seductive sheen of “tech,” this book argues for tech agnosticism—not worship—as a way of life.

When we look at the incredible feats of engineering that our ancestors were able to achieve, it leaves us in awe. Not just because these structures are beautiful and shrouded in mystery, but because they were constructed on a scale we can't comprehend, thousands of years ago.

New technologies can inspire us, but the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world’s discoveries are divinely orchestrated. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels 12 common myths in the church and offers 14 ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

At the heart of our current moment lies a universal yearning, writes David Zahl, not to be happy or respected so much as enough - what religions call "righteous." To fill the void left by religion, we look to all sorts of everyday activities - from eating and parenting to dating and voting - for the identity, purpose, and meaning once provided on Sunday morning.

We are a technological society, no doubt about it. Our devices keep us informed while isolating us from each other and from ourselves, our true selves. There is, however, another technology, an inner technology that brings us back to our true selves and gives us the ability to create lives of joy, abundance, and wisdom. Kim Stanwood Terranova calls it The Technology of Intention, and in this book, she teaches the listener how to tap into this technology and unleash its power.

I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others.

In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography.

In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices.

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention, more than 2,500 years ago. In this groundbreaking account of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life, Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of how ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese myths envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices, and human enhancements - and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real animated machines.

Electromagnetism and the Pineal Gland: The Influence of Modern Technology is a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of the pineal gland, its role in regulating sleep, mood, and spiritual well-being, and the profound impact modern technology and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may have on its function.

The Minoan-Mycenaean Empire is one of the most compelling of the lost civilizations, so how does an advanced civilization vanish as if into thin air? This kingdom wasn’t limited to Greece and its Mediterranean tributaries, the Mycenaean Empire of Greek gods extended around the world, even into the Americas. Their technology included analog computers, humanoid robots, talking oracles, flying machines, transparent windows, hot and cold running water, flushing toilets, sewer systems, loose-stone pyramids that pulled water out of the air, and transcontinental ships with voice navigation.

In this critical time between worlds, technology is shaping the future of our lives, both as individual human beings and collectively as a species. Technology has brought great blessings in multiple vectors, and those benefits are regularly sung in the public sphere. However, the notion that technology is value-neutral is simply not true. All technology is encoded with value, pseudo-value—or tragically, with anti-value. So technology also threatens us with risks to our very existence on this planet.

This is a really eclectic and fascinating bundle of five books on science and technology, all in one volume, including Future Predictions by an Engineer and Seer, Aliens and Secret Technology - A Theory of the Hidden Truth, Designing and Building Space Colonies - A Blueprint for the Future, On Using the Scientific Method to Study the Paranormal, and The 10 Principles of Personal Longevity & Personal Freedom.

Quantum Mechanics is a strange but fundamental part of modern physics and we see the results of this theory with technology used in our daily lives. Quantum effects may also help to explain our consciousness and spiritual (paranormal) abilities. Quantum effects also lead to some very strange phenomena which seem impossible at first glance. I use the experiential knowledge from my prophecies and the research I’ve done on the paranormal to show potential links to quantum effects. The human ability to teleport psychically is one possible connection.

Brother Mackey examines the importance of having a temple within the realm of Freemasonry, with specific attention being paid to the symbolism of King Solomon's temple and the working tools a mason uses when building. He also covers the symbolism behind those tools. He compares the physical temple with the spiritual temple of man, which every mason is attempting to erect. He discusses the trestle-board as well as the rough and perfect ashlars and the ancient mysteries.

Are all flying saucers from outer space? This book says "No!" The author was shown prototype designs for Nazi saucers by a friend in the aerospace industry. Within a couple of years, both had vanished into thin air. Did they get too close to a forbidden secret? This book, the first ever on Nazi flying saucers, suggests that they did come too near. As publisher Gray Barker once said, they knew too much!

Mental Technology describes the basic mental laws or principles that determine how the mind functions. Mental laws are just like physical laws – they are impersonal principles that are in operation whether we are aware of them or not. People all over the world have been inspired by Barbara’s best-selling books The Road to Power / Fast Food for the Soul & The Road to Power 2 / More Fast Food for the Soul. But many have also asked why the techniques in these books are so effective.

This is the second eclectic and fascinating bundle of five books on science and technology all in one volume. Aliens Are Among Us: Aliens have already visited Earth in the past and are here today. This book is a history of alien visits to Earth, and many stories and evidence that aliens are still visiting us today. You may have heard of some of these stories, but you might find something new, too.

In New-Dimensional Thought Technology, author Rossco presents a system that makes it possible to fundamentally alter human living, thereby revealing the origin of the true self and the essence of the problem. It's about making a transformational change that is akin to being reborn within our own lifetimes.

This book is an overview of both the history of aliens and UFOs, as well as a review of hidden aerospace and propulsive technologies. Where did these technologies come from? And how have they developed in the intervening years? Also, I try to answer some questions of how likely some of these claims are - because some things having to do with UFOs and aliens are much more documented than others. There are also many alien-related and secret programs that most of you listeners may have never heard of. The most interesting ones are summarized here.

No other passages in scripture have been more talked about in end-time Bible prophecy than those dealing with the mark of the Beast. Revelation 13:18 adds to the horror by posing the Bible's most mysterious riddle. It states: "Here is wisdom, let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: his number is 666." In this Magi Report, the riddle is decoded and examined phrase by phrase.
