Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critique of both classical humanism and dominant trends in posthumanism that formulates the ultimate form of intelligence as a theoretical and practical thought unfettered by the temporal order of things. In Intelligence and Spirit Reza Negarestani formulates the ultimate form of intelligence as a theoretical and practical thought unfettered by the temporal order of things, a real movement capable of overcoming any state of affairs that, from the perspective of the present, may appear to be the complete totality of history. Intelligence pierces through what seems to be the totality or the inevitable outcome of its history, be it the manifest portrait of the human or technocapitalism as the alleged pilot of history. Building on Hegel's account of Geist as a multiagent conception of mind and on Kant's transcendental psychology as a functional analysis of the conditions of possibility of mind, Negarestani provides a critique of both classical humanism and dominant trends in posthumanism. The assumptions of the former are exposed by way of a critique of the transcendental structure of experience as a tissue of subjective or psychological dogmas; the claims of the latter regarding the ubiquity of mind or the inevitable advent of an unconstrained superintelligence are challenged as no more than ideological fixations which do not stand the test of systematic scrutiny. This remarkable fusion of continental philosophy in the form of a renewal of the speculative ambitions of German Idealism and analytic philosophy in the form of extended thought-experiments and a philosophy of artificial languages opens up new perspectives on the meaning of human intelligence and explores the real potential of posthuman intelligence and what it means for us to live in its prehistory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two quotients analyze our minds and emotions: I.Q. and E.Q. But Kris Vallotton believes we are ignoring a deeper dimension--spiritual intelligence. Because believers have the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit, we have the capacity for brilliance. God invites us to embark on a journey of discovery as he reveals mysteries and helps us bring our perspective in line with his--transforming our understanding and endowing us with spiritual intelligence. In this eye-opening new release, pastor and bestselling author Kris Vallotton says that God invites us to think like him. He answers questions such as · What are the five dimensions of spiritual intelligence? · How can I build new neural pathways to supernatural thinking? · How do I recognize my sphere of influence and the borders of my divine assignment? · And much more! As you listen to the Holy Spirit and realize what it means to have the mind of Christ, you have the capacity for life-transforming spiritual intelligence unavailable in any other way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ray Kurzweil is the inventor of the most innovative and compelling technology of our era, an international authority on artificial intelligence, and one of our greatest living visionaries. Now he offers a framework for envisioning the twenty-first century--an age in which the marriage of human sensitivity and artificial intelligence fundamentally alters and improves the way we live. Kurzweil's prophetic blueprint for the future takes us through the advances that inexorably result in computers exceeding the memory capacity and computational ability of the human brain by the year 2020 (with human-level capabilities not far behind); in relationships with automated personalities who will be our teachers, companions, and lovers; and in information fed straight into our brains along direct neural pathways. Optimistic and challenging, thought-provoking and engaging, The Age of Spiritual Machines is the ultimate guide on our road into the next century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Ways to Tap into and Use Your Highest Wisdom Each day, we are bombarded with data and opinions, and each day we must make choices that steer us toward our own best approach to life. And, according to Simone Wright, we often forget or don’t understand how to use the best tool available: our intuition, which is our “first intelligence” that can cut through the chatter to inherent wisdom. She explains that intuition is an innate and universal biological and energetic function that can be used like a human GPS system to guide us toward effective action and peak performance. Riveting examples and powerful exercises demonstrate how we can use this “sixth sense” as naturally as any, in all areas of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about how long it took Satan to influence the first Adam, to turn on God in rebellion, and to deceive Eve in the paradise of God? The age of innocence was lost in an instant after the taking of the forbidden fruit which was to make one as God and to make one wise knowing the difference between good and evil. On that day, mankinds intellect fell from its spiritual understanding and eternal potential and has been falling ever since, even as worldly wisdom without the knowledge of the Holy Ones has increased. The intellect that was made to be illumined by the Spirit, now in its present fallen state, produces chaos, confusion, and every evil known to man. Gods covering, lost in the garden, can only be restored through genuine repentance and faith in the finished work of Calvary: the sacrifice of the Blood of the Lamb, slain before the foundations of the earth were laid. Spiritual Intelligence and Spiritual Common Sense is based in the unadulterated Word. Evidence of man's delusion of superior intellect without the knowledge of the Holy is the deepest deception. God is not just a god of love, but of justice and righteousness with mercy, because of Christ. He is the God who judges sin, which is moral corruption in any manifested form and under any pretense of the defiant self-will.
