Transcendence

The creation waits eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed; for the creation was made subject to frustration — not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it. But it was given a reliable hope that it too would be set free from its bondage to decay and would enjoy the freedom accompanying the glory that God’s children will have. We know that until now, the whole creation has been groaning as with the pains of childbirth; - Romans 8:21-22 I 've heard various preachers say that animals cannot

Big policeman who corrects people who stray from truth/sin. "Acts of God" hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes… Grandfatherly, indulgent, kindly old gentleman. Others? Trinity – debated at one time, have to believe to be a Xian? UPC Transcendence, God is above all. Immanence, God is close. Can God work through nature? (evolution) Is God fixed and unchanging? Or does he grow and develop like the rest of the universe? "The study of God's nature should be a means to a more accurate

Comparing and Contrasting Al-Junayd of Baghdad and Marguerite Porete Marguerite Porete was a Christian mystic who wrote during the thirteenth century, and she focused her writings on achieving unity with God through the death of the self. She uses agnostic terminology in her description of God, as well as a metaphor for courtly love in portraying the souls relationship with God. In her book Nobility and Annihilation in Marguerite Porete’s Mirror of Simple Souls, Joanne Maguire Robinson argues that

that, based on this discourse, we can affirm with Pannenberg that it is not impossible to locate the immanence of God as the life-giving source of all creatures. The Spirit is working in creation as “the vitalizing principle, the lure to self-transcendence, and as the inspirational power of ecstasy.” In the life-giving presence of the Spirit, it should be noted that the Spirit’s presence does not reject, but rather (on the basis of biblical teaching) invites the “co-creative” role of creatures:

‘The Meek Is Humble Before God’ ‘Two Characteristics of Meekness’ Meekness could be examined by towards God and towards neighbors because these two are the objects of meekness. Craston structurally described a concept of meekness. He said that meekness is “humility born of trustful submission to God in the first place, but it results in gentle, forgiving unselfishness towards others.” This explanation shows the characteristics of meekness. His definition is composed of two parts; the first part is

If the book of Psalms be, as some have styled it, a mirror or looking-glass of pious and devout affections, this psalm in particular deserves, as much as any one psalm, to be so entitled, and is as proper as any to kindle and excite such in us: gracious desires are here strong and fervent; gracious hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, are here struggling, but the pleasing passion comes off a conqueror. Or we may take it for a conflict between sense and faith, sense objecting and faith answering. I

Prologue: When God decided to play a prank on a life. “Ashelyn! Stop that!” A girl with silky curly chestnut hair screamed as she was held back by two bulky men in black suit. She furiously glared at the lady in red evening gown as her precious treasures either being taken away or thrown out by the lady’s workers. “Ashelyn, I swear on my life that I never have those interest on succeeding the Yun’s! Stop destroying my paradise!” She pleaded as she saw one after another of her pretty boy was kicked

being the subtlest evolute, involves maximum effort and sadhana in the transcendence of identification with it. What is this transcendence of identification that we are talking about? How can it happen? There is no surgery yet devised for extracting out the Purusa from the Prakrtic complex. Even when death happens, the Purusa still remains bound with the sukshma sharira till it takes birth again. There is only one way of transcendence of identification while being alive and that is to become aware. Awareness

“An eye with a cataract may see something like a cloud, which is its cataract; an eye with glaucoma may see its glaucoma as a rainbow halo around the lights. A healthy eye sees nothing of itself – it is self-transcendent.” The concept of self-transcendence requires one to overcome the different “cataracts” of life, and ultimately view the world through an altruistic perspective. When one conquers the notion of seeing “nothing of itself”, one can comprehend the true meaning to living a full and healthy

directorial debut, Transcendence unites Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany for the second time after The Tourist. While Cillian Murphy and the voice of reason, Morgan Freeman have small parts in the motion picture; Rebacca Hall plays the woman who changes the rules of the game. In this case the game is the way we live and perceive the life, and what Casters (Depp and Hall) are trying to do is to take it to the next level. Is there a soul? If so, where does it reside?
