He explores the creation and perpetuation of negative stereotypes as mainline Christians contended that "Upland Christians" had to be saved from themselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Drawing upon current theoretical debates in social anthropology, development studies and political ecology, and presenting original research from across the Archipelago, this book addresses the changing histories and identities of upland people as they relate in new ways to the natural resource base, to markets and to the state. It is an engaged study, which fills important analytical gaps and addresses real-world concerns, exploring the uplands as components of national and global systems of meaning, power, and production. It offers a significant re-assessment of concepts, processes, histories, relationships and discourses, many of which are not unique to either the uplands or Indonesia, making the book essential and compelling reading for both scholars and practitioners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is a mystical portrayal of the life and work of the one known as Jesus Christ and as such belongs to an entirely different context to the many other books that have been written on this subject, which usually have a historical, Biblical or academic standpoint. We learn that the terms Jesus and Christ are not personal names, but states of consciousness in life. Jesus is the life of selfless love and Christ is the radiance which that life brings. All men and women can live the Jesus life and the Christ Life will come again within Souls who have attained that state of (embodied) consciousness.The Master fully manifested the states of Jesus, Christ and Lord consciousness. His mission was distinct and unique. To those who could hear, he spoke inner truths, often in parable and allegory, which awoke their spiritual memory. These truths were of the Soul, cosmic in their significance and greater than any ecclesiastical setting could express.As well as finding Souls who could respond to his teaching, the Master was especially constituted to bear and change the dense, unspiritual conditions of the Planet through the mysterious process known as the Sin-offering.Many familiar stories are reinterpreted here, taken out of their hitherto local and personal settings and re-presented as spiritual teaching. The Master's mission was from the Heavens, to be a pure manifestation of beautiful spiritual truth and healing motion. As such, his sayings, his actions and his whole life revealed the Divine world.
