Mission Our mission is to help Americans engage with the realities of religious diversity through research, outreach, and the active dissemination of resources. In the past fifty years the religious landscape of the United States has changed radically. There are Islamic centers and mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples and meditation centers in virtually every major American city. The encounter between people of very different religious traditions takes place in the proximity of our own cities and neighborhoods. The results of the 2010 census underscore the tremendous scope of ethnic change in our society, but tell us little about its religious dimensions or its religious significance. Pluralism has long been a generative strand of American ideology. The Pluralism Project: World Religions in America is a two decade-long research project with current funding from the Lilly Endowment and the E. 1.
What is Religion? Definitions and Quotes 25.2KGoogle + What is the Definition of Religion? The question is not easy to answer. As St. Augustine said of time, most of us know perfectly well what religion is - until someone asks us to define it.

Plant/Human Symbiosis and the Fall of Humanity Trevor Smith, Guest WriterWaking Times There are many mysterious anomalies about human evolution yet to be adequately explained. These include the human brains rapid expansion in size and complexity, why this accelerating expansion suddenly stalled roughly 200,000 years ago and our brains have been shrinking ever since, and why our rare glimpses of genius goes hand in hand with our species wide insanity. “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence..the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a self-reflecting dreamer..that catalyst has to be sought in these alkaloids in the food chain that were catalyzing higher states of intellectual activity.” — Terence McKenna Tony Wright and Graham Gynn are authors of Left In The Dark- the book that presents Tony’s research outlining a radical re-interpretation of the current data regarding human evolution and, they contend, our recent degenerated state we call “civilization”. Tony Wright: Yes.
Spiritual Forums - Spirituality, Metaphysical, Paranormal and Religious Discussion Forums Hierarchy of Needs What motivates behavior? According to humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow, our actions are motivated in order achieve certain needs. Maslow first introduced his concept of a hierarchy of needs in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" and his subsequent book Motivation and Personality. This hierarchy is most often displayed as a pyramid. As people progress up the pyramid, needs become increasingly psychological and social. Types of Needs Abraham Maslow believed that these needs are similar to instincts and play a major role in motivating behavior. Maslow termed the highest-level of the pyramid as growth needs (also known as being needs or B-needs).
