The Role Of Cyber Pilgrimage On A Pilgrimage

The actual journey of the pilgrim to his destination has proven to be a vital part in the transformation and transition of the pilgrim. It is in this journey where most of the sacrifice takes place in a goal to follow the footsteps of either Jesus or Muhammad and the other prophets. In both Christianity and Islam, the pilgrimage entails both physical and financial sacrifice. In John Bunyan’s classic protestant allegory, The Pilgrim’s Process’ the story is told of a Christian who left home with a burden and a book. The burden is a symbol for original sin, while the book represents the Bible. The pilgrimage to the Holy Land is meant to serve as following Christ in every way possible, through both morals and geography in order to free the

The fundamental theme presented in chapter twenty five and twenty six of David W. Dorries book Spirit Filled Christology maintains that Jesus came, not only as a pathway for salvation, but also to lead as an example of the Spirit’s movements and to empower His church with supernatural abilities to further the ministry that He began. In order to expound upon his statements, Dorries uses historical context.

Physical journeys can impact upon the traveler in many ways. They can be faced with obstacles which can impact on the traveler and will need to overcome. Physical journeys can impact upon the traveler in various ways. This is shown in Dawes poem “last seen at 12.10am” where a mother is on a journey to find her missing daughter. This is also evident in Michael James Rowland 2007 film “Lucky Miles”, where a group of men’s inner journey of friendship despite differences goes through obstacles which they overcome. Another impact upon a traveler is also shown in Bruce Dawe poem “Drifters” which a frustrated mother’s journey of disappointment, which has impacted her when suddenly faced with picking up her belongings and being, forced to move.

My site visit took place on the first of February 2013 I had the privilege of attending the candle lighting ceremony of the Judaism religion. To bring in the day called Shabbat ( a sacred day to the Jewish community) at the Chabad Center of Kendall and Pincrest they lit candles, sang songs, and recited words from the Torah that reminded them of the historical story of Shabbat. The Shabbat is the equivalence to the Christian tradition of the Sabbath, where the religious community stops to rest and ponder on the holy one. This establishment is a well-respected and reputable Chabad Lubavitch branch of the Jewish

From when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 A.D. to the postmodern age, the Christian Church had varying degrees of control on Western society as an authoritative figure, dictating moral decisions and controlling mass culture. This cultural super-influence, of course, bleed into literature, music and film as well as everyday life. With the decline of believers, Jesus’ contribution to American culture has surely not shaken. The

King James I of England was said to be interested in religious, philosophical and spiritual academia (Fincham page #). The King obsessively controlled religion in England and though the concepts are conflicting, he was also publicly fascinated with witchcraft, (dark) magic, ghosts, supernatural forces and the like (Tyson Page #). James was paranoid by and feared all “demon like” creatures whom he thought were out to ruin his life and/or kill him. With this building interest and paranoia, James conducted his own research that lead to his book, Demonology (1597). Demonology enlightened readers to James’s irrational fears, fits of rage, and suspicion of regicidal witchcraft (Tyson page #). Later on he called for the mass persecutions of witches.

For William James, his perspective on religious experience was skeptical. He divided religion between institutional religion and personal religion. For institutional religion he made reference to the religious group or organization that plays a critical part in the culture of a society. Personal religion he defined as when an individual has a mystical experience which can occur regardless of the culture. James was more focused on the personal religious experience, “the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in

One effect of walking in the light that John suggests is that there will fellowship with one another. Rudolf Schnackenburg offers that this reference is showing that “unlike the heretics who boasted of their personal experience and possession of God, the author is entirely rooted in the Christian fellowship and knows that they only way to God is community” (78). This community should be preservers of the message of Christ. The other effect of walking in the light is that the blood of Jesus will cleanse us of our sins. Many scholars and theologians see this aspect as reminding that even while one is walking in the Light that does not mean that one is no longer a sinner but rather when one sins it is Jesus who cleanses them from sin. This is not talking about salvation but is referring to the sins committed as a believer (78). This is also, as pointed out by Thomas Jackman, a continuous cleansing by Jesus as a result of our

For example, William James studied religious experience and suggested that the spiritual process works to curtail people's negative behaviors (James, 1936). For James, spirituality helps individuals recognize their own earthly suffering as either a consequence of individual pathology or addictive behavior, or both. When people begin to criticize or consciously reject problematic individual behaviors as a permanent way of being, then they become open to the possibility of rising to a higher awareness. This higher awareness of his or her own behavior is then integrated as a part of the person's psychology. James was already considering the role religion plays in a person's consciousness early in the twentieth century.

Religion has been around for as long as human have been alive. Religion has played a big role in peoples, cultures, the way some people live, people’s decisions and the way they act and our society. Religions has played a role in our civilization for the good and there are some for the bad or as others may refer as controversial. Technology is something people have had for quite some time now and we have used it to communicate and spread information and our ideas.
