The source of information is ultimately, Jesus the Christ and for us as humans, we have 2 places from which to draw upon this source: from within and from without. Hence the question: whence came all this knowledge? whence came all this information that has been here for billions of years before we as the human race showed up? Though it is true that we can only assess knowledge from our subject faculties, we obviously have information to work with that comes to us from the outside of ourselves. Since all knowledge of the world, universe and ourselves is not already within us: hence we learn we can be assured that we have subject and objective sources from which to draw our knowledge: subjects (within ourselves) and objects (things, places, people, ideas) that are outside of ourselves. Information comes in 2 forms: conceptual, non-material and instantiations of those non-material, conceptual ideas: physical objects, which we have been studying from the beginning of the human race. Since this knowledge did not originate within us, we are learning it from the "things" that are from without us - or outside of us. We have been discovering information about our universe from the beginning. Now, information is what the entire universe if composed of. If that information did not already exist within us, hence something new that we have learned, then it came from without, or outside of ourselves. Information: 1st, we receive information through our senses: senses of the soul and of the body.

Much as Teta spied on him and Taymour through a keyhole, Rasa examines his inadequate memories, trying to understand how everything fits together and how he can build a future, with or without the man he loves. Throughout the novel, episodes from Rasa's past bleed into the narrative. However, one morning Rasa's grandmother Teta discovers him and Taymour in bed together: "There is everything that has ever happened, and then there is this morning." The tumultuous day takes Rasa from his grandmother's apartment, to slums to interview Islamist rebels to a police station to bail out his best friend, activist and drag queen Maj to the underground gay bar Guapa and eventually to Taymour's lavish wedding to a woman. Disenchanted with the failed revolution of a few months prior and tired of his work translating for foreign journalists and businesses, Rasa finds hope and comfort in the arms of his lover, Taymour. Rasa is an American-educated young man living in an unnamed Arab country. Family, identity, and politics collide in Haddad's debut. And now I've realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I'm stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. Sincerely (Not Really), Tara Lauren That's the version of my two weeks' notice I should've sent to my boss, because the more professional version-the one where I said I was "grateful for all the opportunities," and "honored by all the rewarding experiences" over the years? That letter was rejected with his sexy, trademark smirk and an "I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract." So, I did. I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she'll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it goddamn self. This was a VERY EASY decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (& the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today. There Titus meets home-schooled Violet, who thinks for herself, searches out news and asserts that "Everything we've grown up with-the stories on the feed, the games, all of that-it's all streamlining our personalities so we're easier to sell to." Without exposition, Anderson deftly combines elements of today's teen scene, including parties and shopping malls, with imaginative and disturbing fantasy twists. But everything changes when he and his pals travel to the moon for spring break. Teen narrator Titus never questions his world, in which parents select their babies' attributes in the conceptionarium, corporations dominate the information stream, and kids learn to employ the feed more efficiently in School™. In this chilling novel, Anderson ( Burger Wuss Thirsty) imagines a society dominated by the feed-a next-generation Internet/television hybrid that is directly hardwired into the brain. I think about thesecrets of life and the universe. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. What we call reality, is most definitely not what it appears to be. Can it be, that this complex, living, breathing, sophisticated, opinionated, creative and conscious entity that we call human, is made up merely from a few invisible atoms of nothingness? We are not simply made from flesh and blood - we are beings of an infinity of dimensions, too vast to contemplate, but our brains and our senses are only able to perceive that which is rooted in matter, for that is the substance from which we believe we are made. This book motivates the reader to reconsider everything they think they know about themselves and the world today, examining the different models of creation, evolution of humanity and the universe, the essence of matter and of life itself, exploring all manner of scientific, theological, psychological and philosophical and metaphysical hypotheses and offering insights into ancient mystical wisdom and the road to enlightenment. Are we all slaves to a gross illusion? Who are we? What is the mind, what is consciousness and what is reality? This book offers educated answers and explanations to all these questions and more.
