The famous Dutch philosopher Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) is difficult to comprehend. Emeritus professor Maarten van Buuren published two books on Spinoza in 2016, in which he analyses Spinoza's philosophy in a meticulous and enlightening way. A number of key concepts in Spinoza's philosophy are: an immanent, nature-inhabiting God, self-determination, freedom, power, reason, intuition and self-appropriation. In this book these key concepts are discussed based on the analysis of Van Buuren and the philosophy of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. The work of the philosophers Ken Wilber and Otto Duintjer also plays a role in this book. Although a thorough analysis of philosophical concepts is important, practical application of these concepts is paramount. Theory and practice should go hand in hand. A synthesis of philosophical reasoning and effective practices for spiritual development is needed.
In recent years foreign aid has been increasingly criticized for not being very effective. A promising new concept and methodology in the discourse on development is Civic Driven Change (CDC). This form of bottom-up and participatory 'aided change' certainly enriches the debate on development. Nevertheless, some challenging aspects in its operationalization remain to be solved. The biggest problem in CDC might be that the analysis of the multi-dimensional process of development remains too superficial to create significant impact. The role of citizens as agents of development is indisputable and a redesign of states and markets 'from within' is essential. This, however, not only implies that the citizens themselves, as the building blocks of societal institutions, must develop civic agency. They also need to access the deeper, more inner levels of human consciousness. Societal transformation demands above all personal transformation. If you want to change the world, start with yourself.

Het vakgebied IT-servicemanagement (ITSM) is nog maar dertig jaar jong en heeft al veel positieve resultaten opgeleverd. Door de jaren heen zijn nieuwe inzichten en oplossingen verschenen: Looijen, ITIL, ASL, BiSL, ISO20000 en vele andere. Alle droegen bij aan de groei van het vakgebied en aan verbeterde dienstverlening. Helaas zijn al deze ervaringen tot nu toe niet gebundeld in één gestructureerde en vooral toepasbare methode. Dit was de aanleiding voor de ontwikkeling van de ISM-methode: niet het wiel opnieuw uitvinden, maar alle voor IT-dienstverlening relevante en toepasbare kennis en ervaring onderbrengen in één praktische methode. De ISM-methode wordt inmiddels bij een groot en gr...
The production of biological light (ultra-weak photon emission or biophotons) within many types of cells and tissues is characteristic of an alive organism. You will begin a journey of discovery about biophotons in relationship to biological matter and about how such biophotons can be detected utilizing specialized very photon-sensitive technologies. In this book, Roeland Van Wijk provides a unified synthesis that facilitates easy entry into an exciting sub-field of biology. Light in Shaping Life encompasses the history of biophoton research, insight into how biophotons are generated, and into their involvement with life. Also included, is an overview of the potential benefits of such research to a better understanding of health and medicine. There is sequel to Light in Shaping Life available: Biophoton Technology in Energy and Vitality Diagnostics A Multi-disciplinary, Systems biology, and Biotechnology Appraoch Roeland van Wijk, Yu Yan and Eduard van Wijk Meluna, 2017 ISBN 9789081884341
