Nature, universe, science and religion. Are You a Pantheist? When you look at the night sky or at the images of the Hubble Space Telescope, are you filled with feelings of awe and wonder at the overwhelming beauty and power of the universe? When you are in the midst of nature, in a forest, by the sea, on a mountain peak - do you ever feel a sense of the sacred, like the feeling of being in a vast cathedral? Do you believe that humans should be a part of Nature, rather than set above it? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, then you have pantheistic leanings. Are you sceptical about a "God" other than Nature and the wider Universe, yet feel an emotional need for a recognition of something greater than your own self or than the human race?
If so, then pantheism is very probably your natural religious home. Pantheism is older than Buddhism or Christianity, and may already count hundreds of millions among its members. What Pantheism believes Whatever else is taken from you, this can never be taken from you. Healthy mind. Deity. Mythology's MythingLinks / Water Goddesses & Gods. Stipple Portraits - Hedcut Pen and Ink Drawings - Hedcuts - Stipple Illustration by Wall Street Journal Hedcut portrait artist Noli Novak. Deity. Authorities. MAAT: the Goddess from Egyptian mythology. Despite her permanent head decoration of an ostrich feather, she is far from a feather brain.
She is a deity of cosmic order, and the feather, which is always divided in equal halves, is also her symbol of 'that which is straight'. She is heavily involved in the judgment of the dead along with OSIRIS and THOTH. With a permanent staff of forty-two assessors, MAAT has her own system of weighing souls. A single feather is placed on the scales of justice.
The ghostly heart of your KA (i.e. soul) is placed on the balance and various spiritual tests are performed. MAAT is a firm favorite aboard the Solar Boats of RA, and can hold her own with THOTH in any technical discussion.

Ancient Egyptian Gods | Ma'at. Pharaohs also practiced this god’s concept of order during their reign. Pharaohs were expected to practice Ma’at, which meant it was their job to keep their nation in a state of order. This meant building temples, making offerings to the gods, keeping enemies at bay, and making honest decisions.
Anything else was considered chaos and disorder. The people of Egypt believed that through Ma’at, the pharaoh kept Egypt stable and orderly. To some pharaohs, Ma’at was so intertwined into their kingdoms that some pharaohs changed their staffs’ names to accommodate this god. For example, the pharaoh Amenhotep III had his Principal’s name changed to Neb-Maat-Ra, meaning “lord of truth is Ra.” This name association with the Goddess Ma’at was mainly done during the Fourth Dynasty and shows the devotion to the deity. Ma’at’s Concept of Justice and Truth Ma’at is also known as the goddess of justice and truth. When a person died, their heart was weighed against the goddess’ feather on a huge scale.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS - Plan to ship Hanford leaked waste to WIPP decried. "This is a bad, old idea that's been uniformly rejected on a bipartisan basis by politicians when it came up in the past, and it's been strongly opposed by citizen groups like mine and others," said Don Hancock, a member of the watchdog group Southwest Research and Information in Albuquerque.
"It's also clear that it's illegal. " Hancock was commenting on federal plans to ship some of the radioactive waste from Washington's Hanford Nuclear Reserve to New Mexico, a plan supported by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D). Both states will need to approve the plan. Six of the Hanford tanks holding radioactive sludge from nuclear weapons production have been found to be leaking intro groundwater. The plan would mean shipping 3 million gallons of radioactive waste from Hanford to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad. About.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Race against the tide: Artist creates intricate masterpieces... that the sea washes away within hours. By Eddie Wrenn Updated: 17:19 GMT, 27 July 2009 When artists see a canvas, most of them want to fill it, even if it's with nothing more than a doodle. But sand artist Andres Amador works with one of the biggest canvases available, with entire lengths of beaches swallowed up by his art. Sadly the sea is no discerning art critic, for once the San Francisco artist finishes his staggering artwork, the waves come in to wipe the slate clean.
Enlarge Waves on the beach: Andres Amador has been producing sand art on Ocean Beach in San Fransisco for five years Circles on the beach: The giant structures make for an interesting coastal walk Many of his stunning images, which start out as simple squiggles in the 39-year-old's notebook, span an incredible 500x300feet and are raked into the grains in a race against the tide. Using a canvas crafted by the elements the patient American waits for a full or new moon to make sure low tides offer him plenty of space to muster the incredible patterns.

Goddess myths. . . intriguing stories full of struggles, emotions, heartache, and endurance. Think of any of these legendary ladies and stories of adventure, passion, and revenge come to mind. In antiquity the goddess myths played much the same role that soap operas do in our times. Filled with action, power plays, love affairs, success and the agony of defeat, the goddess myths do much more than simply entertain -- they once instructed and shaped the world around them, teaching what is normal, acceptable, and likely to be rewarded (or punished). Celebrity status was automatically thrust upon a goddess.
Stories featuring quiet, docile goddesses were as popular as those starring a voluptuous, seductive one. Goddess myths didn't always have happy endings either, tragedies as well as comedies were frequent fare. Above all else, both then and now, the goddess myths shed light upon human nature and the struggle to be whole in body, mind, and soul. The understanding that results when we.

The essay will not be changed, as it has been found useful by many, many people over the years that it has been available.) It all started in August of 1997, when I created my first webpage.
It was about Bast. There just seemed to be too much bad information on Her out there. I wanted to make a dent in that and present the information I had culled in a format that was appealing and easily accessible. Yemaya : Goddess of the Ocean and The New Year. They call her the goddess Yemaya, Ymoga (Mother of the Fishes), Iamanga, and Balianne. She traveled with them from Yoruba to distant lands, comforting them in the holds of the slave ships that took them far away from their homeland in Africa. Today she is also celebrated under many other names, including the virgin Mary (Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception), Stella Maris (Star of the Sea), and Our Lady of Regla...to name but a few. Originally Yemaya was a river goddess of the Yoruba in Nigeria, far from the ocean.
She was a nature spirit, an orisha, a powerful guardian spirit that reflects an important aspect of the God of the Ife religion. An orisha manifests itself as a force of nature. When her people were hoarded onto the slave ships, Yemaya went with them, thus becoming the Goddess of the Ocean. Actually Yemaya shares responsibility for the ocean with another orisha. Yemaya is a mother goddess, the goddess of home, fertility, love and family. Egypt. Ma'at. The concept of Ma'at brings together several completely disassociated dimensions in Egyptian imaginary. We are not going to separate them for didactic reasons. Ma'at is at the heart of understanding Egyptian civilisation in its entirety, and is the foundation of its longevity.
It is bound to and confused with ethics (including justice and truth), with universal order (cosmic order, social order and political order) and with social integration based on communication and confidence. The foundation of Egyptian cultural identity, Ma'at is the great creation of the thinkers of the Old Kingdom. It is she who ultimately offers an ideological setting to the Pharaonic State, both at the level of justification of its existence and in that of the rules which define good government.
But we would not know what this principle covers if a break had not occurred. The disorder and social anarchy which resulted from it profoundly marked the Egyptian imagination. 1. .

[Site editor's note: The following is an excerpt from the new Disinformation title 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know: Religion, authored by Daniele Bolelli.] What if Christian theology dismissed the virgin birth and other miracles as fairy tales?
What if your pastor/priest told you to flush the Ten Commandments down the toilet and instead live life to the fullest? What if Sunday service at your local church consisted in a juicy orgy? All of this could have happened had Carpocrates had his way. Carpo … who? In the midst of this very chaotic beginning, Carpocrates emerged as a particularly charismatic preacher, who soon attracted enough of a following as to give birth to his own branch of Christianity. Since this beginning was apparently not controversial enough, Carpocrates promptly taught his followers to reject Mosaic Law as well as the prevailing morality of his times as mere human opinions, not divine commandments.
