That strange talk
Glossolalia is a socio-religious occurrence that has been considered intriguing and challenging, particularly during the last hundred years, and considered by historians and social scientists as a religious phenomenon with extreme impact and relevance within Christianity.It is one of the most interesting and little-studied phenomena of spirituality within the Psychology of Religion, and one that has aroused growing interest among psychiatrists, neurologists, and linguists.It has to do with the practice of groups of believers, in worship settings and in certain circumstances of religious dynamics, being able to speak in languages or dialects they have never learned, and which they cannot decode or interpret, for rationally incomprehensible reasons.- Shop: buecher

Mysteries , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
What is a mystery?Down through the ages, men have been accustomed to call that to them was unknown, unexplained, or incomprehensible - a mystery. There has been a tendency to wrap veils of mystery around natural phenomena, around the causes of daily experience in the lives of men, and even around God. That which is in any particular out of what we have called the usual and the commonplace has aroused a sense of the supernatural or the mysterious in relation to it. Mankind has relegated much to the realm of the mysterious that is explainable under the light that true thinking throws upon the experiences. There rises the question, why is this? Long, long ago, in the childhood of the race, before men thought intelligently about life and living, they felt within themselves an impelling urge for something higher than their daily experiences. They naturally looked to that which was above them and found it beyond their power to understand. So it came about that while these primitive men were still a great way off, the greater experiences of life looked weird and incomprehensible to them. They were thinking in terms of separation; hence all greater experiences were mysterious to them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Wentland.

Shakespeare's Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
A human space traveler trapped on a remote planet must somehow unravel a confounding alien technology - or else surrender himself to a host of incomprehensible horrors. For thousands of years, Carter Horton has been traveling across the galaxy toward a distant world capable of supporting human life. At journey's end, awakened from his millennia-long sleep by a curiously adaptive android, he is informed that his crewmates have all perished due to a system malfunction. But worse is yet to come: Horton's sentient ship is refusing to return him to Earth, and a strangely cordial predator is waiting for him on the planet's surface. The repulsive creature, Carnivore, arrived here via a tunnel across the universe, as did his late companion - a human dubbing himself William Shakespeare - whom Carnivore just recently devoured. But the tunnel moves in only one direction, and if Carter is unable to reverse it, he will find himself marooned forever in this incomprehensible world, at the mercy of monsters and a terrifying, mind-freezing alien anomaly that occurs every evening in the "God-hour". With unparalleled verve, award-winning science fiction grand master Clifford D. Simak performs a truly astonishing feat of world creation in Shakespeare's Planet. Bursting with intelligence, imagination, and breathtaking invention, this is a gem of speculative fiction from one of the genre's most revered and innovative artists. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Spilling the Beans on the Cat's Pyjamas: Popular Expressions - What They Mean and Where We Got Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min
You wouldn’t be ‘barking mad’ if, when asked the definition of certain phrases, ‘the cat got your tongue’ and you ‘clammed up’. Let’s not ‘beat around the bush’; the English language is littered with linguistic quirks that, on closer examination, seem utterly fantastical. In Spilling the Beans on the Cat’s Pyjamas, Judy Parkinson explores the many colourful – but rather incomprehensible – phrases that enhance our language, describing their origins and defining their true meanings. ungekürzt.

I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That chronicles the series of vast, at times incomprehensible, mistakes that Jules makes in an attempt to get over her first "serious" boyfriend. It follows her through drunken nights, drunker nights, bad dates, worse dates, encounters with her ex, and a very few glistening moments of hope and self-realization. It is a thoroughly sad break-up story, an occasionally naive love story, and a comical train wreck throughout. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Cobb.

Stepping purposefully out of the dark shop, with a large sharp knife hidden under his coat, the wanted man met a stranger. But it was quite a different kind of stranger than he could have imagined... and what happens next is incomprehensible and inspiring. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.
