Scientology, The ARC Triangle

The essential conviction of Scientology is that the "thetan" is "the life systems of the human soul". The thetan is intended to speak to a man's actual otherworldly being, separate from "the psyche, body, and the physical world. " Scientologists guarantee that a man's thetan has survived numerous past lives and contains put away recollections of memories from those past lives. These recollections could wind up plainly risky to the present, which is the reason Scientologists want to recoup those memories for the individual to accomplish genuine enlightenment. This concept is similar to that of reincarnation found within Hinduism and Buddhism, however, within Scientology, the religion helps one to regain the memories of their past life/lives so everything they experienced and learned from past lifetimes is then carried into the

‘Will I survive?’ , ‘Am I the same person?’ , ‘Will there be some person alive who is the same person as me?’ (Parfit, 1971, p.9) these are all questions that must be answered in order to determine ones survival or future responsible actions.

As a crude response, Crake replies“You don’t get it. That stuff’s been edited out”’(361). Religious scholar Suel refutes Crake’s argument when he brings up, “Hans Mol described the chief function of religion as the stabilization of individual and group identity”(558).Religion serves as a fundamental stabilization for groups, in order for the Crakers to prosper in the world, they must adapt some form of faith as their foundation- not even eradicating religion in their minds will

Many people practice a religion because they desire order in their lives. However, there are many religions, each with their own belief systems. In Philip Kapleau’s Three Pillars of Zen, Harada-roshi explains the concept of Buddhist spirituality to an American businessman. Harada-roshi tells him, “You must break out of your self-imprisonment…you must put your mind in your hara and breathe only mu in and out… The center of the universe is in the pit of your belly!”

It might seem itself, it is the way of life with all the vulnerability that infers, its disagreements, its void, and its outlandishness. The nature and culture qualification is a technique for looking in the mirror. It would be better to understand that our basic anxiety, our truth, is only an expansion of reflection to unique material of thought, and from that unique material we may examine it from its foundations, through its entire phenomenology, or we may contrast it with the truth or nature of things, and observe it to be sensible or not. In any case, we may comprehend ourselves better and dispose of all the

Harris points out the reiteration of the word “Let” and argues that “Let” is a representation of leaving things unfinished or incomplete. Conveying the acceptance of the inescapable future. Harris points out faith sustains body and soul; the body obtains the soul as the soul is uninhabited

The biggest theme of The Great Divorce is salvation; more specifically, ensuring one’s immortal soul reaches Heaven and not Hell through the exercising correct moral choices in life and the practice of forgiving others and seeking forgiveness for your own sins. For Lewis, Heaven and Hell are not metaphoric or ideas, they are real places. In the book, Lewis develops this by having other related themes that affect salvation like, vanity vs. pride, love, the value of ideologies, faith vs. skepticism, jealousy, anger, and forgiveness.

Salvation rituals are used to save and transform a spiritually corrupted identity and set them free again. Revitalization rituals are used to save a culture and or religion from becoming endangered or extinct. This initiation is both types of rituals because they are trying to save Malidoma from the corrupted spirit that he inherited from being in the west, and they are trying to bring back his native culture and religion back into his soul. Like stated in question number one, initiation has three stages, separation, transition, and re-incorporation. In the first stage of separation, Maldoma is singled out separated from the members of his village.

In Hinduism, the ultimate goal is to achieve Atman-Brahman, which is done so by separating yourself from the material world. However, the problem arises in the fact that humans by nature are materialistic. Hindu’s believe that there are four stages of life, and it’s not until humans reach the last stage of life that they may achieve ultimate happiness. This fourth stage is known as “wandering ascetic” and is when humans are closest to physical death, but are most alive in a spiritual sense. It is the ego that prevents us from reaching the fourth stage throughout the course of our lives.

The three unique levels speak to groupings of social orders in view of their scale. In any case, there is additionally one other gathering that connected humanism addresses, the person. The strategies for connected human science that are utilized will be intensely impacted by whether you are managing a miniaturized scale, meso or large scale level society groupings. http://www.appliedsoc.org/society/.

On the other hand, Foscolo belonged to the so-called 'Century of Lights ' , which was characterised by the philosophical movement called Enlightenment, which used the reason as primary source of authority and legitimacy, and applied also its thought on religious and political tolerance. In particular, Foscolo felt a strong anxiety about the "eternal nothingness" and for the 'forgetfulness that envelops the man after death ', for this reason, he tried to recover some spiritual values, by idealising some irrepressible human values such as: motherland, love, poetry , freedom, beauty, art, and especially the noble, heroic enterprises, which make worthy to be remembered, and has seen the 'sepolcro ' (tomb) as both, a symbol of his philosophy

The Romantics believe self reliance and individualism must outweigh external authority, and self reliance should also outweigh blind conformity to custom and tradition. Romantics hold the belief that spontaneous feelings and intuition are superior to deliberate intellectualism and rationality. Transcendentalism was also a belief of the Romantics. The third and final aspect of Romanticism cites transcendentalism.

Myth’s appropriation is used as a guide for sacred space. Evangelicals’ personal experiences perceive and confirm this use by the social acceptability of the “spiritual” or “Spiritualizing” as nonempirical. Both evangelicals and nonevangelicals present valid arguments containing well grounded evidence. Boundaries move during the comparison of mankind’s and God’s world affecting truth.
