Karl Friedrich Bahrdt - in his château at Marschlins by the Swiss statesman Ulysses von Salis (1728-1800). The school had languished since the death of its founder and first head, Martin Planta (1727-1772), and von Salis hoped to revive it by reconstituting it as a "Philanthropin" under Bahrdt's management. The experiment was a failure; Bahrdt, never at ease under the strict discipline maintained by von Salis, resigned in 1777, and the school was closed. At the invitation of the count of Leiningen-Dachsburg, Bahrdt now went as general superintendent to Durkheim on the Hardt; his luckless translation of the Testament, however, pursued him, and in 1778 he was suspended by a decision of the high court of the Empire. In dire poverty he fled, in 1779, to Halle, where in spite of the opposition of the.
Karl Daub - the Talleyrand of German thought. There was one great defect in his speculative theology: he ignored historical criticism. His purpose was, as Otto Pfleiderer says, "to connect the metaphysical ideas, which had been arrived at by means of philosophical dialectic, directly with the persons and events of the Gospel narratives, thus raising these above the region of ordinary experience into that of the supernatural, and regarding the most absurd assertions as philosophically justified. Daub had become so hopelessly addicted to this perverse principle that he deduced not only Jesus as the embodiment of the philosophical idea of the union of God and man, but also Judas Iscariot as the embodiment of the idea of a rival god, or Satan." The three stages in Daub's development are clearly marked in his writings..
Karl Ludwig Nitzsch - imperaboriae et didacticae prolusiones academicae (2 vols., 1830). Theologically, he represented a combination of supernaturalism and rationalism (supernatural rationalism or a Kantian rational supernaturalism)..
Kenneth Anger - fame and notoriety from the publication of Hollywood Babylon in 1958, a tell-all book of the scandals of Hollywood's rich and famous. He became fascinated with the supernatural and Aleister Crowley sometime in his late teens and many of his films reflect occult themes. He began making films around age 11, but his early films were mostly destroyed. His first film to see distribution was Fireworks in 1947. While most of his films are short subject (ranging from 3.5 minutes to 30 minutes) mood pieces, in 1955 he made a documentary film of the ruins of Crowley's magical abbey in Cefalu, Sicily. During the late 60's he associated with The Rolling Stones, and Mick Jagger did the music for Anger's 1969 film Invocation of My Demon Brother. Several of his films.
Kim Il-sung - and President of the DPRK, he added General Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Generalissimo of the DPRK. He also received the title of Hero of the DPRK three times and the title of Labour Hero of the DPRK. In 1972 he relinquished the premiership but retained his position as leader by revising the constitution. He developed the idea of juche (주체 ; 主體), self-reliance blended with Marxism. He begun to build concentration camps in Haengyong and Chunbong. North Korea was devastated with famine. A stadium crowd forms the image of Kim Il Sung Kim Il Sung died on July 8, 1994, in Pyongyang. He was succeeded by his son Kim Jong Il. The North Korean media reported supernatural sightings of even animals crying, reporting "Many animals wept." The Great.
Kim Philby - with OSS agents. After the war Philby went first to Istanbul. He later became first secretary at the British embassy in Washington. He returned to Britain in 1950 and in 1951 managed to tip off Burgess and Maclean to an internal British intelligence probe, this warning allowed them time to escape to the Soviet Union. He was not uncovered until 1963 (with the defection of Anatoli Golytsin) but Philby also escaped to the Soviet Union before any arrest could be made. He died in 1988 and was given a hero's funeral by the Soviet government. Tim Powers based the book Declare on his unusual life story, providing a supernatural explanation for his behavior ("Tradecraft meets Lovecraft"). Chronology of Philby's career 1925 Goes to Westminster School 1929 Enters Trinity College, Cambridge, at.
Kingsley Amis - dystopian works of Frederick Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth, and in New Maps, he coined the term "comic inferno" for a type of humorous dystopia, particlarly common in the works of Robert Sheckley. With the Sovietologist Robert Conquest he produced a series of science fiction anthologies Spectrum I-IV, which drew heavily on Astounding Science Fiction from the 1950s for its sources. In his own writings in the science fiction/fantasy genre, he wrote two novels, The Alteration, an alternate history novel set in a 20th century Britain where the Reformation never happened, and a supernatural/horror novel, The Green Man, later adapted as a television production by the BBC He was married twice, first in 1948 to Hilary. In 1965, he married novelist Elizabeth Howard; they divorced in 1983. He had three children: two.
King under the Mountain - in a good deal of Celtic mythology (and later fairy tales) to refer to the ruler of the supernatural creatures particular to a given location, particularly the sidhe. In J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy universe of Middle-earth, the King under the Mountain is the title of the Dwarf ruler who resides at the Lonely Mountain. In The Hobbit, the dragon Smaug held this title. Thorin was in line to be the King under the Mountain..
King in the mountain - the mountaintop?" The herdsman, or a mysterious voice, replies, "Yes, they still circle the mountaintop." "Then begone! My time has not yet come." The herdsman is usually supernaturally harmed by the experience: he ages rapidly, he emerges with his hair turned white, and often he dies after repeating the tale. The story goes on to say that the king in the mountain sleeps in the mountain, awaiting a summons to arise with his knights and defend the nation in a time of deadly peril; and the omen that presages his rising will be the extinction of the birds that trigger his awakening. The motif is interesting in that it combines the idea of a supernatural national defender with the concept of conservation. A number of kingss, rulers, and fictional characters have.

Kung Fu - Chinese martial arts theory often emphasizes the use of the "Qi" (氣, lifebreath), internal styles paying more attention to this dimension of the martial arts than do the external styles. Qi is the inner energy that flows through the body. The restoration of proper balance and flow of qi in the human body is said to be the basis of acupuncture. One's Qi energy can be improved and strengthened with regular practice of various physical and mental exercises known as Qigong. Kinaesthetic studies of this energy are common, and tend to provide proof that while Qi exists, it is not a supernatural force, but is instead a manifestation ofthe overall control of the mental, nervous, endocrine, breathing, muscular, and other dynamics of the human body. Many Chinese (and, consequently, Japanese) martial.

James Fenimore Cooper - engaged in, and passed some sharp censure on his compatriots for their share in it. This attack he followed up with The Manikins (1835) and The American Democrat (1835); with several sets of notes on his travels and experiences in Europe, among which may be remarked his England (1837), in. three volumes, a burst of vanity and illtemper; and with Homeward Bound, and Home as Found (1838), noticeable as containing a highly idealized portrait of himself. All these books tended to increase the ill-feeling between author and public; the Whig press was virulent and scandalous in its comments, and Cooper plunged into a series of actions for libel. Victorious in all of them, he returned to his old occupation with something of his old vigour and success. A History of the.
James Martineau - life. He became a positive religious teacher by virtue of the very ideas that made the words of the Hebrew prophets so potent and sublime. But he did more than interpret to his age the significance of man's ultimate theistic beliefs; he gave them vitality by reading them through the consciousness of Jesus Christ. His religion was what he conceived the personal religion of Jesus to have been; and He was to him more a person to be imitated than an authority to be obeyed, rather an ideal to be revered than a being to be worshipped. Martineau had the imagination that invested with personal being and ethical qualities the most abstruse notions. Although he did not believe in the Incarnation, he held deity to be manifest in humanity; its saints.
Jacques Tardi - recreates with great style the Paris of the early 20th century where the moody heroine encounters supernatural events, state plots, cults and cryogenics. His obsession with the First World War and the pitfalls of patriotism have spawned many albums (Adieu Brindavoine, C'était la Guerre des Tranchées, Le Trou d'Obus...) and was brought on by his inability to believe that his grandfather could have been involved in the day-to-day horrors of trench warfare. He also began a serie on Paris Commune, Le cri du peuple. His style can at times seem to be similar to Hergé's ligne claire style (clear line), paired with meticulous research and an asexual hero (Adèle Blanc-Sec is quite a misandrist at times) but Tardi's work endlessly satirises the concept of the flawless hero by using a series.
James E. Reilly - years. He recently (summer 2003) returned to Days of our Lives and currently head writes both shows. He is known for his outrageous and/or supernatural plotting -- "buried alive," "possessed by Satan," and "Elvis wedding" stories on Days, for example, and pretty much the entire storyline of Passions. He has a mysterious, reclusive persona in the soap press -- rarely or never photographed..
James Merrill - first adult book, First Poems, in 1951. In 1977 Merrill won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for Divine Comedies. Merrill suffered writer's block and sought psychiatric help to overcome its effects. Merrill won the National Book Critics Circle Award for his epic poem The Changing Light at Sandover (composed partly of supposedly supernatural messages received via ouija board), and the first Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry awarded by the Library of Congress for The Inner Room. He won National Book Awards for Nights and Days and later for Mirabell. James Merrill's significance as a writer lies in his deliberate use of his personal relationships to fuel his poetry. He died on 6 February 1995 while vacationing in Arizona from a heart attack related to AIDS. He served as a Chancellor of.
Jan Baptist van Helmont - near Brussels, where he occupied himself with chemical experiments and medical practice until his death. Van Helmont presents curious contradictions. On the one hand he was a disciple of Paracelsus (though he scornfully repudiates his errors was well as those of most other contemporary authorities), a mystic with strong leanings to the supernatural, an alchemist who believed that with a small piece of the philosopher's stone he had transmuted 2000 times as much mercury into gold; on the other hand he was touched with the new learning that was producing men like Harvey, Galileo and Bacon, a careful observer of nature, and an exact experimenter who in some cases realized that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. As a chemist he deserves to be regarded as the founder of pneumatic.
Jewish eschatology - era of peace and prosperity for Israel and all the nations of the world. The job description, as such, is this: All of the people of Israel will come back to Torah The people of Israel with be gathered back to the land of Israel. The Holy Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt. Israel will live among the nations as an equal, and will be strong enough to defend herself. Eventually, war, hatred and famine will end, and an era of peace and prosperity will come upon the Earth. The traditional Jewish understanding of the messiah is non-supernatural, and is best elucidated by Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon), in his commentary to tractate Sanhedrin, of the Babylonian Talmud. He writes: "The Messianic age is when the Jews will regain their independence.
Jewish principles of faith - or in the divine origin of the Torah. Rabbi Akiba would also regard as heretical the readers of Sefarim Hetsonim - certain extraneous writings that were not canonized - as well such persons that would heal through whispered formulas of magic. Abba Saul designated as under suspicion of infidelity those that pronounce the ineffable name of the Deity. By implication, the contrary doctrine and attitude may thus be regarded as having been proclaimed as orthodox. On the other hand, Akiba himself declares that the command to love one's neighbor the fundamental the principle of the Law; while Ben Asa assigns this distinction to the Biblical verse, "This is the book of the generations of man". The definition of Hillel the Elder in his interview with a would-be convert (Shabbat 31a), embodies.
