The Omega Seed brings together the recent writing of the author on eschatology, that branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind. He believes that the simulation of the divine will provide man with a blueprint for creation not only of our physical environment but also of a new stage in the evolution of mankind. His work is against the things of a materialistic society, toward a redesigning of the urban civilization of earth.

Condition: clean copy.Content: This book shows that Buddhist thinkers were driven, when theorizing about Buddha, by a basic intuition that Buddha must be maximally perfect, and that pursuing the implications of this intuition led them into some conceptual dilemmas that show considerable similarity to some of those treated by western theists. The Indian Buddhist tradition of thought about these matters is presented as thoroughly systematic, analytical, and doctrinal.262 pages, notes, glossary, bibliography, index.

But this defiance, which starts as a sport, soon develops into a grim struggle, an all-out war between two relentless opponents:Nurse Ratched, backed by the full power of authority, and McMurphy, who has only his own indomitable will. What happens when Nurse Ratched uses her ultimate weapon against McMurphy provides the story's shocking climax.
