The Spiritual Society That Is Bound By God

The anthropological studies of religion show that individuals use religion to serve different purposes, but they rarely note that these functions are different in some cultures. These religions involve both cosmological and transcendental which vary in their beliefs and practices. The transcendental religions view the existence of the universe as strong evidence for God’s presence. This religion assumes a Supreme God created the universe and that he still maintains its existence. Cosmology, on the contrary, is highly individualistic in both character and philosophical outlook and they resist any common doctrinal stance. While transcendentalists believe in ultimate power in supernatural powers, cosmological religions believe in ultimate power from the natural world. The essay will compare between two cosmological religions which include, archaic religion and the primitive religion as well as one transcendentalist religion of Christianity together with how disenchantment de-legitimize cosmological religions.

We figured out how diverse societies think and how they see the world and its qualities. Expressions assume a substantial part in the declaration of our internal musings and excellence in our life. From move and music to digest workmanship our idea of life is appeared through the different routes in which we translate it. From move and music to extract craftsmanship our idea of life is appeared through the different courses in which we translate it. We utilize the Arts as a method for touching that a portion of us that we can't reach with Physical Science, Social Science, or any of alternate humanities. Expressions of the human experience permit us to be as particular or as unique however we see fit. It helps us turn out to be nearer to ourselves and to others around us. In spite of the fact that there has been a considerable measure of disarray with respect to what the genuine meaning of "a masterpiece  is, the manner by which we indicate others what is happening in our psyches and inward souls can't be judged, reviewed, scrutinized or reconsidered by anybody other than ourselves. Human expressions assume an esteemed part in making societies and creating and archiving civic establishments. Human expressions show us how to convey through innovative expression. Demonstrate to us industry standards to comprehend human encounters, over a significant time span. Everybody has a voice, and

the role of religion as a haven for the soul to be a relentless fight

Since time immemorial, art has always been a product of man’s emotional and intellectual connection with the world. The primary aim of art is to create a message that will either trigger an inexplicable consciousness within the spirits of its audience, or provoke wisdom among the minds of the curious persons. Owing to its deep-rooted role for man, art has long been explored in several manners, with some scholars pursuing the mere aspects of art, while some take on deep comparative examinations. However, the act of connecting ancient art to contemporary art is not, as easy as taking into account, the time both came into existence. More so, how current artists perceive the ancient art, and how it influences their current works. There is a more precise, more diverse approach in understanding how ancient art measure up to the contemporary ones. The overall purpose of this research paper is to gain insight of the perception and attitude towards ancient art among current artists. To understand and complete this research topic, the paper will offer deep research, which will also include interviewing current artists with an aim of completing the set objectives. Nonetheless, current artists have the obligation to appreciate ancient art, so as to develop the act of appreciating art works in the society, including the works of current artists.

Religion is used to explain elements that are attributed to the creation or formation of existence, it provides answers to human experiences that are beyond comprehension or the ability to explain. Religion can be described as a response to something beyond the ordinary, giving meaning and purpose to life (Morrissey et al., 2010, p. 5.). Religion is a cultural system of beliefs and believers, sacred texts and writings, ethics, rituals and ceremonies that relate humanity to an order of existence. The combinations of these key characteristics create in turn, a dynamic, living religion. This essay will analyze these four aspects in detail, explaining the relations between human beings and sacred or the divine with examples from various religious

Having sheltered, to a certain extent, art from scientific reduction, (the philosophy of realism) it is appropriate, before further examination, to similarly give asylum to art from idealism, so that the philosophical position of this paper remain clear. Idealism is a doctrine which values the idea above the material. Insisting that, the perfection of an idea can never be captured in material form. Admittedly, it is true that the image of an idea can never be made physical and continue as, purely, an idea. But an artistic idea is only as beautiful as a scientific idea is useful, that being not at all if not applied to the external world. The ideal beauty of the Platonist is worthless, to the world, without being expressed; if the function of an ideal beauty is not expressed, the idea dies having never impregnated the minds of others and thus, goes extinct. Realism attempts rigorous reduction and idealism abhors and takes for granted the beauty of, physicality; therefore, the absurdist view is the only logical one, because it recognizes both the ideal and the material without holding one in greater favor than the other, acknowledging that both are equally important to the human condition which manifest the absurd; the artistic ideal is nothing if not expressed and the

Spiritual formation was defined as a process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others (Robert Mulholland). It is a process of being transformed by the power of the Trinity God, and the gospel. Through the centuries, Christians were converted and discipled. However, in the last 50 years, spiritual formation and discipleship was neglected in the western world for many reasons. Thankfully, the emphasis of spiritual formation has revived in recent years.

Images of art enhances how one views the world around him. Infinite meanings behind an image expands one’s vision to see much more, to think much more, and to believe much more. “Our vision is continually active, continually moving, continually holding things in a circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are(Berger 106)”.

This critical analysis effectively describes and interpret the artwork of Christo Javacheff and his wife and co-worker Jeanne-Claude, where four areas are to be assessed; the use of colour, light illusion, use of material and the paradoxical perceptions of the monumental installations. The aesthetics of the work such as line, shape, form and colour impact the nature and feelings around the work in a way that changes our perceptions on art and architecture in life as a whole. There is a connection to many of Juan Pallasmaa’s theories in his book “The Eyes of the Skin”, which can be applied to Christo’s majestic installations. Pallasmaa makes it clear that architecture and artwork have a strong impact on enhancement of one’s own life and morals when he explains how “architecture has to address all the senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with our experience of the world” (Pallasmaa p. 11). This statement reflects on the work of Christo Javacheff, an Bulgarian-American artist, born in 1935, where his purpose is to work with authentic objects and spaces in order to absorb all kind of interpretation (Kavass p.152) Wrapping objects and marking areas with fabric is to be Christo

Contemporary art has evolved into many different forms and genres. The substantial amount of freedom given by the art educational institutions to the artist enables the practice of seeking new ways of expression and evolution. This open mode of creation is necessary for the practice to freely evolve, but the freedom brings a huge responsibility onto the maker too. There is also a question of whether there is a real freedom of expression, in the world governed by the social and institutional rule and order. Shall the artist seek to escape the expectations of the societal responsibilities and demands of the art institutions, and if yes, to what extent is it possible and meaningful for the avant-garde attitudes to exist within the contemporary

Concentrated study of aesthetics is a luxury that inspires gratitude and carries with it the singular regret of not being able to solely focus on it. As philosophers expose their opinions, one’s own philosophy of art surfaces alongside them. First, creativity need not be distinguished from fine art as this detracts from the goal of fine art to contribute to humanity. Second, mechanical and technological systems and patterns lie outside the realm of fine art as they fail to inspire or connect to the soul. Another paramount requirement of artwork is the prick of the observer in one way or another in order to evoke emotion. Last, uniqueness also finds its way into one’s personal philosophy as art must persuade the observer to consider a new action

Fine art is painting, sculpture, design and architecture - part of the culture of the people and their daily practices. It constitutes an important contact element is also a part of the environment in affluent which the human’s.

Spirituality many mean a lot of different things to different people. However, the general definition of spirituality is the connection to something that is greater than ourselves (Krentzman, 2013). Understanding the worldview questions not only allows individuals insight to their own inner thoughts, and beliefs; but allows individuals the ability to understand others. Understanding the different perspectives within will also allow individuals to interact with others who have not only the same beliefs, but different ones as well.

We need look no further than the final seasons of the majority of one’s favorite television shows to realize the simple fact, what is newer is not necessarily better, in fact it is often far worse or more complicated. It is a common bias of modernity to assume superiority over any ways of thinking that ruled past cultures; however, particularly for a religiously-based course, that kind of thinking is highly problematic. For the purposes of this essay I will attempt to traverse the narrow line of objectivity and compare and contrast two worlds. These two worlds are the Old and New, and are heavily subjective and conventional in nature, but nevertheless this inquiry will continue as planned. The rise of soteriology and a new kind of guilt,

The essence of art is the union of inspiration, discovery, imagination, and power displayed and interpreted through our five senses. Art cannot be demonstrated, nor identified by any absolute source; no one can or ever shall deem any one piece or sense as “true art.”. For art is individualized and perceived differently by each being. The appreciation of what one brings to be experienced by others classifies as art, for art is to be appreciated in different perspectives; whether it be in sorrow, pleasure, comfort, or uneasiness. With the creation of art comes the birthplace of power. With the beauty of art, comes its flexibility and willingness to bind itself to any form that you dictate.
