Glimpses of Esoteric Christianity Part 2
He who attunes with the harmony of the Cosmos, with Tao, with the Divine I AM, feeds and expands the flame--like the Colombes tending the sacred fire in Vesta's temple--which results in a greater manifestation of God, the Shekinah, in man's expression in the world of Malkuth--Assiah, God's footstool. Glorified by the divinity of his God-presence, man manifests his full divine potential with the fruits of the Tree of Life in full development with the aspects of will/power, love/wisdom, intelligence/activity in equilibrium and in total unfoldment.Heaven, or the Kingdom of God, is an inner state, a condition within the consciousness where peace, harmony, bliss, love, compassion, wisdom, and power rules...
Prayer to Ganesha: On Religion and Writer's Block
For those who are unfamiliar with the Hindu gods, Ganesha is the elephant-headed god of overcoming obstacles. He also happens to be the patron god of writers. Apparently writer's block has been around for quite some time.I realize that a belief in multiple "gods" is considered sacrilegious by some. Both Christians and Muslims, for example, are quite strict about their belief in the One True God. But these arguments have arisen more from semantics than from any underlying philosophical divide. Even if there is only One God, still there are many aspects of God--truth, justice, honor, integrity, trust, faith, joy, peace... Using the word "god" to depict the Hindu representations of the divine is really...

Legal Free Music Downloads - Songs You Want at No Cost
It's all over the news these days. Download music from the Internet and you could be sued, fined, and/or go to jail. The truth is free music downloads, done correctly, are completely legal.The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) aggressively prosecutes copyright violators. And well they should - it's piracy plain and simple. But there are millions of free mp3 downloads legally available. RIAA doesn't want you to know this and wants you to believe any music downloads you don't pay for are illegal.You'll quickly attract RIAA's attention by using file-sharing services like Kazaa and Grokster. The technology is not illegal (yet), but using it to share downloadable music is at best a grey...
The Salmon in Northwest Native Indian Artwork and Culture
There are several species of salmon fish in the Pacific Northwest region. These are the Coho, Sockeye, Pink, Chum, Atlantic and the largest which is the King or Chinook. Salmon are born in the rivers and swim down to the ocean where they live in the saltwater. At spawning time, they return to the river where they were born, lay the eggs, and then die. The young hatch and start the life cycle over again. Salmon fish have always been an important mainstay food source for the Northwest Native Indian people as well as much wildlife in the region including many large birds, bears, and river otters. This is the reason why the salmon is a popular subject in Northwest Native Indian artwork and culture...
Shari'ah Law Has No Place Here
How the Government of Ontario would entertain such a regressive notion as the introduction of Shari'ah law in the resolution of family matters continues to mortify me. Widely documented and internationally condemned as being contrary to basic Canadian values, the abuses, biases, and discrimination practiced against women under Shari'ah has no place in my province.Justice is blind to nothing but the facts, Shari'ah law is not.It devalues women and accords them little if any protection in respect to domestic disputes. To believe that the provision of Shari'ah law as a "voluntary" dispute resolution alternative is naivety at its grandest. Implementing this puts women at risk of coercion...
Hinduism: Religion or Culture?
Hinduism is a 3000 years old religion. Millions of people follow Hinduism. However, there are no particular rules in it. With the immigration wave in 1950s Hinduism became an international culture and religion.There are two Hindu temples in New York. The Geeta temple Ashram is a traditional orange and white marble North Indian building, which was built in 1972. It reflects the wealth of the first wave immigrants. The Hindu temple society has been criticized of putting only wealthy people on Geeta's board of trustees. The Divya Dham temple was partly built as a response to these class tensions, as the new less affluent immigrants began to establish their own sacred spaces. Divya Dham is located in...
Popcorn Facts
Unbuttered popcorn is considered to be a good, low-calorie snack. However, unbuttered popcorn can be quite tasteless. There are many ways to make unbuttered popcorn a tastier snack. A dash of brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and onion salt, iced tea mix, peanuts and raisins can add to the flavor.Popcorn satisfies the craving that people have for snacks. Popcorn is a type of flint corn. The kernels of this corn have a hard outer shell and are starchy inside. Dry-roasting these kernels in a specific way makes them pop up. Kernels are normally dried to a moisture level of approximately 13.5 %, which is the most favorable moisture level for popping this corn.According to many historians, corn first came...

Did you know that over fifteen million people practiced yoga in 2003, according to a landmark study by Yoga Journal Magazine. And the numbers are expected to increase dramatically in subsequent years.

Perhaps the best way to understand yoga's popularity is to go right to the people who practice it. If you ask them why, some of the...
By far the most severe oppression that the women faced comes from the dominant culture. This oppression is shown in numerous ways, such as degradation, exploitation, and murder. As a result, the women have an understandable fear and hatred of white people. Maya describes an errand into the white section of town like this: "We were explorers walking without weapons into man-eating animals' territory" (Angelou 25). Likewise, because of Mary's beatings by Catholic nuns at the Indian Boarding School, she "hated and mistrusted every white person on sight, because [she] met only one kind" (Crow Dog 34).One example of whites' degradation of minority peoples is the changing of their names. Native American...
Relationship before Function
As many are aware, I'm quite an advocate for the growing house church "movement" and love helping others to establish churches in their homes, coffee shops, office breakrooms, etc. I'm having a ball doing this and it's VERY rewarding. I was recently looking at Luke Chapter 10 verses 1-9 and there are some principles found there that will not only prove beneficial to the "house churchers" among us, but ANY Christian whose heart is set on advancing the Kingdom of God.Let's take a look at the Amplified version. Here it is:1...the Lord chose and appointed seventy others and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to come (visit).2And He [Jesus] said...
India and Pakistan Relationship
India and Pakistan, as two nations united by history but divided by destiny, are almost like two estranged siblings. Their rivalries over five decades have prevented both the countries from realizing their full economic and geopolitical potential.Since the founding of India and Pakistan as separate states in 1947, the dispute over who should control Kashmir has been one of the world's most enduring and violent conflicts. There are also signs of a religious conflict at play, pitting predominantly Hindu India against Muslim Pakistan.There has been a paradigm shift since the initial stages of insurgency in Kashmir. The direct, bold, loudly eulogized direct strategy of the insurgents establishing...

Kriya Yoga And The Nature Of The Journey
Kriya yoga has found a place in some people who are looking for a deeper, more spiritual relationship with their lives. It is a kundalini oriented yoga and meditation technique, that also teaches certain spiritual and esoteric principles. Unfortunately, like many similar "spiritual" power structures, it teaches you that essentially your power lies outside of yourself - that is, that you need a 'guru', or 'master' to access your own innate spirituality.Kriya yoga has some aims which sound both appealing and promising. They aim to eliminate "obstructions" and "obstacles" from the mind and body. Point of view is a very interesting thing here, however. Because what is an obstacle or obstruction to one...
Political Correctness and College Sports - Has The NCAA Gone Too Far?
The NCAA in it's wisdom has determined that teams that use native The NCAA has gone so far as to say that these teams cannot play in the post season tournaments unless they change their names.While I am sure there is a group of people both Native Americans and others who seem to think these names are offensive shouldn't we look at the big picture? Shouldn't we look at why colleges chose the Mascots that they do? Don't college choose mascots because of the qualities they feel those mascots possess? Don't the Colleges want their student athletes to posses these same qualities. Qualities like skill, Strength, Bravery, knowledge, intelligence and sportsmanshipAren't College athletics a huge source of...

Out of the Box
Boxes are really interesting things. It's the first thing we see when we receive something as a gift. It tells us a lot about the size, weight and contents of what's inside. I remember as a kid, picking up a light box for Xmas meant "clothes" and a heavy box generally meant "Toy", especially if it rolled from one end of the box to the other upon tipping and shaking. A box can be a really great thing and bring a lot of joy. As a kid, I had a Remco Bulldog Tank, which I can still get a nice feeling from by looking them up for sale still on Ebay. I won't be buying one soon as they are around $300. I remember the original price was around $12. But that box sure brought back memories and now, if I...
Land Tenure and Use in Native American Culture
Native Americans believe they are closely linked with the land and everything that grows on the land or lives on the land. Because of this belief, the idea of "owning" land did not exist among the Native Americans. They lived off the land, but did not consider that they owned it. This is not to say that they shared the land with other tribes, because they did establish territorial rights to certain parts of America among the many tribes. Intrusion into another tribe's territory was considered an invasion and was often met with warfare.Before contact with Europeans, most of the Native Americans lived in hunter/gatherer communities composed of small populations of people. A few tribes had settled into...
What to NOT Name Your Freelance Copywriting Business
Many years ago when I first began freelancing, I struggled over what to name my copywriting business. The first name for my one-man shop was Chris Marlow and Associates. Although there were no associates, I imagined it made me look bigger. Years later when I thought I was much smarter, I changed the name to Ad Copy, Inc. It didn't get me any more business than Chris Marlow and Associates. And it cost me lots of money for new stationary and legal incorporation. Eventually I gave that name up too, since I was not fulfilling the requirement of taking minutes at board meetings, seeing as how I was the only board member, and a fully absent one at that. Finally I settled on plain old Chris Marlow...

The Origins of the Cigar Store Indian
For some cigar and tobacco shops, a Cigar Store Indian sits outside the door. While this can easily be viewed as an unwanted stereotype on the Native American community, it is also a part of cigar and tobacco history. As some of these wooden Indians appear inviting, happily greeting any incoming customers, others appear defensive, as if guarding the store from shop lifters, thieves, and No Smoking ordinances. However they appear, they appear often: Cigar Store Indians have become advertising icons in the world of tobacco. Just like candy-caned barber poles have become synonymous with barber shops, and talking lizards have become synonymous with car insurance, these wooden Indians have become...

Native American Response to Settlers
Initially, the Native Americans welcomed the Europeans to America. Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand that the Indians on San Salvador Island responded warmly to the gifts the Europeans gave them, and "became so entirely [their] friends that it was a wonder to see" (Hurtado 45).Montezuma and the Aztecs welcomed the Spaniards as a God that came in fulfillment of their destiny. This Aztec belief induced them to submit themselves entirely under the Spaniards' rule.

The Trickster of Folklore
Folklore includes a traditional trickster figure, the subject of many stories in a cycle. Trickster tales are in the animal tales genre, with the trickster himself -- he seems always to be male -- identified with a particular animal. These include the fox in Japan, mouse deer in Southeast Asia, the coyote and the spider among the Native Americans, the tortoise and spider in West Africa, and the mantis in Southern Africa.These tales feature a trickster-hero who may be regarded as both creator god and innocent fool, evil destroyer and childlike prankster.Tricksters are usually small in size next to the large, strong animals that appear in the same folktales.

Both have similarities and differences, as do all forms of religion, and I will discuss the practices and theological aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism.No one is completely sure of where Hinduism was started and by whom.

Though there are many things in common with all of the Hindu sects, their basic beliefs are what tie them together. Their oldest written documents, the...
Archetypes
DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY (ARCHETYPES): - "All material bodies are condensations of frozen bodies." (2) Jung is becoming 'in vogue' again, I hear. Perhaps this time around it won't just involve so little real appreciation for all that he meant and understood. Dream interpretation and projected Western values can be a Freudian gambit - Jung grew to see things few will ever admit to in the present ideologies of the West. He was able to contact the future before the First World War and it almost convinced him he was mad, until he saw his visions were right - then he knew it wasn't himself who was mad - it was the world he lived in! His archetypes may be a contact with the genetic 'history book' that the...

Many businesses love to implement website conversion strategies to convert their visitors into buyers. This is the main purpose why we build businesses online. However, it takes a lot of patience and understanding to properly implement these strategies, because it takes time for the results to show. You have to test these strategies and see if they work well for your site for a period of time. Let's say you'd like to test it for a month. Calculate the visitors coming in for that month, divide it by the number of buyers and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage. Once you have the answer, compare it to the month before you implemented this strategy. If the conversions has increased, it...
Computerized Christians? Get Ready for the New Church!
Isaiah 43;19 declares: "Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."A new thing? Try this one on for size: Just as the Apostle Paul brought the Good News to the Greeks, today's latch key kids will bring it to the GEEKS!Here's what I mean. Does anybody remember those radical Jesus Freaks of the 60s and 70s? They're still around. They became the pot-bellied Baby-Boomers we know and love today. These people seem to have become more conservative with age (having children of one's own will cause that transformation). After all, many who were once yesterday's liberals are today's conservatives. They...

Copyright (c) 2007 Karen Kay Have you ever known someone whose circumstances in life fit perfectly with their name? For instance, back in my hometown there was a foot doctor named Dr. Azarch. One of my favorite internet marketing gurus is Joel Comm?.of My wealthiest relative married a man named John Luck. There is a famous professional poker player named Chris Moneymaker. I kid you not, look it up! I even used to be called "Carin' Karen" by a co-worker when I was a mental health counselor years ago. Think about it, and I bet you know someone too who fits their name in some way. Maybe it's more like they "live up to their name". "What does this have to do with me?"

South African History [The early colonial period.] - Part 1
Portuguese seafarers, who pioneered the sea route to India in the late 15th century, were regular visitors to the South African coast during the early 1500s. Other Europeans followed from the late 16th century.In 1652, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) set up a station in Table Bay (Cape Town) to provision passing ships. Trade with the Khoekhoe(n) for slaughter stock soon degenerated into raiding and warfare. Beginning in 1657, European settlers were allotted farms by the colonial authorities in the arable regions around Cape Town, where wine and wheat became the major products. In response to the colonists' demand for lab our, the VOC imported slaves from East Africa, Madagascar and its...
