Bible History Online Images and Resources for Biblical History. Internet Resources for the Study of Judaism and Christianity. This page lists a number of sites on the Internet that are useful for the study of Judaism and Christianity. The list is necessarily partial, provisional, and even parochial. A casual glance will show how Penn-centered it is. It is amazing that this much relevant information already exists on the Internet. Some of this material is brilliant, and much of it is useful. One should realize, however, that most original research must still begin in a good library. The Internet is a good place for discussing research, for testing out approaches, and for sharing the fruits of scholarship. Most of the original material currently available on the Internet is written on the level of an introductory encyclopedia or undergraduate course, but primary sources and scholarly articles and journals are coming on line at an increasing pace.

The Pluralism Project at Harvard University. Syncretism. Syncretism /ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different, often seemingly contradictory beliefs, while melding practices of various schools of thought. Syncretism involves the merger and analogizing of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of arts and culture (known as eclecticism) as well as politics (syncretic politics). Nomenclature, orthography, and etymology[edit] The Oxford English Dictionary first attests the word syncretism in English in 1618. It derives from modern Latin syncretismus, drawing on Greek συγκρητισμός (synkretismos), meaning "Cretan federation". The Greek word occurs in Plutarch's (1st century AD) essay on "Fraternal Love" in his Moralia (2.490b).

Religion, Science, and Spirit: A Sacred Story for Our Time by David Korten. Is it possible that the human future depends upon a new sacred story—a story that gives us a reason to care? Could it be a story already embraced by a majority, although it has neither institutional support nor a place in the public conversation? Posted Jan 17, 2013 “For people, generally, their story of the universe and the human role in the universe is their primary source of intelligibility and value,” Thomas Berry wrote in The Dream of the Earth. “The deepest crises experienced by any society are those moments of change when the story becomes inadequate for meeting the survival demands of a present situation.”
The challenge before us is to create a new civilization based on a cosmology—a story of the origin, nature, and purpose of creation that reflects the fullness of our current human knowledge. We live at such a moment. Three Cosmologies Three distinct cosmologies have each had their influence in shaping the Western worldview. The cosmos is created and ruled by a Distant Patriarch.
Religioskeptic. Tiny Buddha. Chapter One: Your Mind is Your Religion by Lama Thubten Yeshe. When I talk about mind, I’m not just talking about my mind, my trip. I’m talking about the mind of each and every universal living being. The way we live, the way we think—everything is dedicated to material pleasure. We consider sense objects to be of utmost importance and materialistically devote ourselves to whatever makes us happy, famous or popular. Even though all this comes from our mind, we are so totally preoccupied by external objects that we never look within, we never question why we find them so interesting. As long as we exist, our mind is an inseparable part of us. Don’t think that examining and knowing the nature of your mind is just an Eastern trip. One day the world looks so beautiful; the next day it looks terrible. Similarly, one person thinks that the world is beautiful and people are wonderful and kind, while another thinks that everything and everyone are horrible.
Do not expect material objects to satisfy you or to make your life perfect; it’s impossible. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. BuddhaNet - Worldwide Buddhist Information and Education Network.

Monisme métaphysique - Définition[modifier | modifier le code] Le monisme s'oppose aussi à toutes les écoles philosophiques construites sur la multiplicité intrinsèque du réel, comme l'atomisme de Démocrite qui envisage le cosmos comme un assemblage de vide et d'une infinité d'atomes, atomes appartenant secondairement à un nombre fini de catégories atomiques de natures différentes.
Concernant les fondamentaux métaphysiques du monisme, certains penseurs refusent de confondre monisme et non-dualité. Dans leur logique, ils restreignent le concept moniste à la seule unité de substance alors que la non-dualité, elle, implique l'unité absolue de tout dans toutes les dimensions. On peut alors parler de monisme restreint lorsqu'on limite l'unité à la seule substance, et de monisme généralisé pour affirmer la non-dualité absolue de tout ce qui existe.
Monismes orientaux[modifier | modifier le code] Monisme hindouiste[modifier | modifier le code] The Ancient Chinese Libertarian Tradition - Murray N. Rothbard. The first libertarian intellectual was Lao-tzu, the founder of Taoism. Little is known about his life, but apparently he was a personal acquaintance of Confucius in the late sixth century BC and like the latter came from the state of Sung and was descended from the lower aristocracy of the Yin dynasty.
Unlike the notable apologist for the rule of philosopher-bureaucrats, however, Lao-tzu developed a radical libertarian creed. For Lao-tzu the individual and his happiness was the key unit and goal of society. If social institutions hampered the individual's flowering and his happiness, then those institutions should be reduced or abolished altogether. To the individualist Lao-tzu, government, with its "laws and regulations more numerous than the hairs of an ox," was a vicious oppressor of the individual, and "more to be feared than fierce tigers. " The wisest course, then, is to keep the government simple and for it to take no action, for then the world "stabilizes itself. " Murray N. Godchecker.com - Your Guide To The Gods.

Dans les années 90, des travaux avaient montré que la sérotonine pouvait provoquer des états similaires à ceux causés par les drogues psychédéliques (ex : le LSD) comme la modification de la perception, les hallucinations ou le sentiment de fusion avec le monde...
D’autres recherches sur la structure du cerveau ont révélé une zone du cortex, le cortex pariétal supérieur qui fonctionne au ralenti lors du fameux sentiment de fusion mystique avec le monde.
