  Purpose governs human life from start to finish. Religion provides this purpose by giving people something to hold on to in a fast-paced and changing world. The substratum of religion was science and logic. For example, reading the Quran five times a day was initiated to bring about more peace because everyone needed to forsake violence during the Salah. Fasting and penance practiced since time immemorial in several religions are now recognized by science as a way to detoxify our body. More often than not, religion and science are thought to be contradictory when they can and have co-existed beautifully for aeons. Science believes in order and practicality related to our surroundings and daily processes while religion believes in the one who maintains that order and carries out the processes. As we can see, these two beliefs are not very distant. This provides the base for the thought that the boundaries between religion and science can sometimes become a bit blurry. Something li...

  “Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?” John 18:4 Let me give you a context to this. It was  the night before He was to be put to death. Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. After the last supper with His disciples, there He was alone and afraid with a sadness that was so deep as He Himself said “ The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me” Matthew 26:38 Being God, He could see what lay before Him, the betrayal from a friend leading to His subsequent arrest, the spits, the taunts and the blows, the sharp crown with the thorns, the never-ending journey to Calvary and finally the cross and the nails, His humiliation at being strippped before 1000s and pierced at the side, the three hours of endless torture and His subsequent death. It was all a price He had to pay for people who yet didn’t see the salvation that comes from Him. And yet, He accepted it all, fr...

  Confucius' social philosophy was substantially focused on the conviction of "ren," or "loving others'' while executing self-control. Confucius' bureaucratic ideologies were also considered a cornerstone of self-control. He emphasized that a leader must nurture self-discipline to stay humble and compassionate to his people, thus setting a sanguine paradigm by doing so. Leaders might coax their acolyte to follow the law, according to Confucius, by indoctrinating virtue and the unifying force of the sanctity of the ritual.  Confucius' educational conceptual framework is based on the "Six Arts," which included archery, calligraphy, computation, music, chariot-driving, and ritual. The fundamental purpose of pedagogy, according to Confucius, was to edify people how to live with honesty. He endeavored to resuscitate the former Chinese credos of compassion, etiquette, and ceremonialism through his teachings. Confucianism's core notion is the s...

  Idealism of life Confucius' edifies have had as much mastery of Far Eastern society as the Bible has had on Western civilization. "The Teachings of Confucius - Special Edition" comprehends three works in one volume: "The Analects," "The Great Learning," and "The Doctrine of the Mean," as presented in this deluxe hardcover conglomeration. Confucius' "Analects" is the most rudimentary of his teachings. A collection of conferring and chinwag between Confucius and his copious acolytes demonstrates his teachings: that anybody, regardless of social stature, can become a great man by ushering a scrupulous entity. "The Great Learning" is a set of precepts for living, even the lion's share of mundane chores of diurnal life. The practice delineated in the "Seven Steps" embodies it. The "Doctrine of the Mean" discusses how to procure nonpareil rectitude by taking the mesial path. It is a beatific prescri...

  Confucius on the Nature of Vulnerable Love Confucianism places a brawny emphasis on love. In fact, its most germane postulation, ren, can be translated as "love." The Confucians swallowed that everyone, including animals, should be perturbed about their well-being. Despite the verity that everyone deserves endearment, Confucians discerned that the potency of one's concern for others would natch vary depending on the estate of intimacy. As a corollary, the pivotal to soliciting others was to extend one's compassion for menage members to others. Astonishingly, despite the prominence of having an empathic concern for others, the conformist frowned upon romantic love, which frequently contradicted the emphasis of ethics. As a result, Ren, Confucianism's most crucial tenet—customarily construed as kindness, goodness, or humanity—represents an embodiment of love. Ren, according to the immemorial Confucian writers, consists of loving others. Confucius unambiguously ave...

  Law of attraction Law of attraction is a philosophy, mystery, and certainly a firm belief that can translate human thoughts into reality. In simple words, it is a way of ordering the universe to make things happen through strong desire and manifestations. The law of attraction states, success or failure circulating in every corner of life is attracted by our thought process.  Knowingly or unknowingly people tend to ponder over different incidents, experiences and predictions. As a result, these thoughts impact similar effects on the person later onwards. It is evident from the three laws that humans act as magnets; their thoughts are utilized to attract emotions or events which they sometimes desire and sometimes fear.

Visualization People attract so many things from their day-to-day life. 24x7...

  Background If you have read our previous article , by now, you may have got the idea that John had been with Jesus for three years during His ministry on the earth. After the Jews and Romans crucified Jesus together, God raised Jesus from death on the third day. There were more than 500 people who met Jesus after He resurrected from the dead. Jesus' disciples, including John, witnessed His ascension to heaven after Jesus spent 40 days with them after His resurrection. Then happened a series of historical events in Israel that included political and spiritual revolution. John was one of the strong pillars of the early church that witnessed innumerable miracles and healings of the sick. After that came a great turning point for the world that we can trace to the hospitals, educational systems, and all kinds of charities. Societies began to reform, women began to be given equal positions in society, and many other life transformations took place. The work that Christ began in His d...

INDEX   What is the Law of Attraction? Law of Attraction is a philosophy that states that if a person focuses on positive thoughts, then he/she will attract positive things in life, but if the same person focuses on negative thoughts, then he/she will only attract negative things in his life.
