- Pranic Healing
By: Alfred Patrick | - With the advent of rapid industrialization, urbanization and the breakdown of family life after the Second World War, social life in the West became tense & stressful. The spread of materialistic ideas and ideals and the erosion of faith in Morality & the Law Divine & the social disturbance caused by the Vietnam War brought a sense of futility & meaninglessness in the Western psyche.
In addition, limiting beliefs, blocked emotions, and karmic and dna patterns can be replaced with ne ...

- Moral Equivalence And Religious Freedom
By: Brian Jones | - My left-leaning acquaintances consistently attempt to convince me that all religions are equally good and equally bad. This is one instance of the doctrine of "moral equivalence."
The trouble is, moral equivalence just isn't true. If you and I were to meet on the street, I could smile at you or I could punch you in the nose. Few would claim that these acts are morally equivalent. And yet if these acts are promoted by a religion, our brothers on the left would have us believe t ...

- Is Ours A Herd Morality?
By: JOHN HARDY | - Do you know the difference between right and wrong? This is the question we ask our teenagers, ad nausea. This is the litmus test for deciding if the criminal is bad or mad. The question itself presupposes that we human beings have an innate sense of right and wrong. It further assumes that what is deemed to be right and wrong is incontrovertible, that they are universal constants which transcend culture and context.
Even though the most primitive of tribes, such as aboriginals ...

- Eliot Spitzer & Human Morality
By: Rohit Dhankhari | - I know next to nothing about Eliot Spitzer. Until this week, I didn't even know he was the governor of New York, nor did I care. All I know about him I found out in the last week from news releases and opinion articles about his follies with some prostitute and his subsequent capture by the morality brigade. I must say that the moment the news broke I had mixed feelings about the whole episode. On the one hand I thought, "So what? He's a politician. He deserves it. We all know they're all corrup ...

- Jehovah's Witnesses Morality And The Way They Live Their Lives
By: Alex Best | - The Christian-based religion that Jehovahs Witnesses follow is absolutely fascinating. There are so many elements to it that you can literally get lost in all the information if you were not raised within a home following the religion. However, there is one element above all others that you will notice and take away from the start. If you are to learn one thing about Jehovahs Witnesses it is that their core beliefs and practices have one central factor to them a strong sense of ...

- Flowers And Love
By: L Law | - Throughout history humankind has been making use of flowers as a representation of human passion. In artist John Millais renowned painting of Ophelia, flora is spread over the work of art, as a symbol of impossible love, morality and forsaken love. In ancient Egypt, Cleopatra scattered rose petals at the feet of her special companion, Marc Antony, to suggest her passion and devotion to him.
In a technology driven world of computers and cell phones, it seems that the importance of ...

- Gps Tracking And The Ethical Dilemma
By: Joe Mueller | - GPS tracking is a technology that allows its users to gather position information on an objects or person with laser like precision.

- Society And Culture: The Achilles' Heel Of Capitalism
By: John Meakin | - Capitalism has always been a controversial economic system: it is selfish and unfairly favors the strong, say its critics; it primarily benefits the prosperous West, invariably at the expense of poorer nations; and its huge profits go to multinational corporations, to the detriment of smaller and weaker companies.
Others, however, argue that capitalism simply offers the potential for financial profiteven wealthto anyone who is willing to work hard and offer reliable and nece ...

- Urban Clothes And Street Wear-bring Out Your Style
By: La Cola Berry | - Urban trendy clothing shop at present is the frontrunners in Elegance and worthiness. Urban clothes stores were born recently. The castle in the air was not about stuffing fashion in clothes. Furthermore, hip-hop style was expressed with the good things and values in life. This morality was widespread with the inauguration of online shopping stores for urban clothing. Today, there are immense numbers of hip-hop street wear websites.
With the introduction of hip-hop style in t ...

- Purity Is Making A Comeback
By: Bethany Chastain | - Paying close attention, you can see that morality seems to be making a very slow comeback, reversing the trend of total moral degradation. Positive role model effects on young women might be attributed to the widely publicized, negative antics of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. There is an old saying, Everyone has a purpose, even if it only to serve as a warning to others.
A recent Sacramento fashion show featured modest fashions from casual wear to prom dresses, brides- ...

- Working To Make Educational Reform Succeed
By: bob letterman | - Educational reform is a diverse field. It encompasses both working to restructure public and private schools as well as to influence the political processes that underlie those schools. Organizations such as the Acton Institute propose reform through morality in education and free market measures. Other centers for reform work to enhance the effectiveness of school districts.
Yet despite this diversity of agendas, all such organizations share one powerful commonality. They are all ...

- India Hotels & Resorts
By: Abhishek Jadon | - Goa, with its odd remix of modern tack and medieval morality, is a beautiful tiny region just 65 km wide and 105 km long (3701 sq km). It is the smallest and the most beautiful state located at the West coast of known as Konkan. It is basically divided into two districts: North Goa and South Goa. Panaji is the capital along with the headquarters of the north Goa district and Margao of the south district. Margao still exhibits the influence of Portuguese culture along with Catholic heritage.

- California Passes Sb 777 - Here Come The Language Police
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Appearing as a guest on the late night Craig Ferguson show Wednesday October 17, 2007 Vicente Fox former President of Mexico until 2006 was asked how he viewed America. In a Republican-ese right wing kind of reply he said we should return to our values. He added that the rest of the world is still looking to us for the leadership we had given in the past. At this juncture in our national life this notion is little more than syrupy nostalgia, although it was good to hear an outsider saying ...

- The New American Theology - A Gospel Found Between The Lines
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Perhaps the day has come when the well known comment made by C. S. Lewis is undergoing prophetic fulfillment. Lewis said that in today's world of intellectual pride and pomposity that Christ probably wouldn't be crucified at all. Instead, they would invite him over for dinner and spend the evening making fun of him.
Soldiers of the cross have suffered a drain of top leaders in the public arena of late. The passing of the fearless, Rev. Falwell and religious freedom' ...

- Obligation And Charitable Motivations
By: Andrew Schwartz | - Peter Singer is the author Famine, Affluence and Morality, who tries to find distinctions between obligation and charitable motivations. He attempts to explain that rich people should do more to support the people of the world who are very poor and suffer from hunger. Many people believe that helping in hunger relief is a good act, but is not obligatory. Singer thinks it is compulsory and morally justified for the favorable to help the deprived people as much as possible.

- Creating An Integral Culture
By: Copthorne Macdonald | - Observers have noted that contemporary society is characterized by three sets of opposing forces:
1. BUSINESS-AS-USUAL forces that want to maintain the existing institutions and ways of doing things. They want to keep the mechanisms of institutional and governmental control pretty much as they are, keep the economy global and growing, and keep the world's economic wealth in the hands of those who currently possess it.
2. NOSTALGIC forces that want to go back to an e ...

- How A Child Thinks Regarding Moral Issues
By: Don Alexander | - Daughter "When people drive don't they have to stop at red lights?" Mom: "Well yes honey, the law says when a person is driving and the light changes to red they must come to a complete stop" Daughter: "See Mommy, that's why the policeman is after you!"
Jean Piaget had great interest in how a child thinks regarding moral issues He said that children think in two ways about morality. The first is heteronomous morality thinking, which occurs between four and seven years of age. The ...

- Alternatives To Morality
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Most people know that murder is wrong. It's ugly, and disruptive, to family as well as society. Most crucially, it's also against the law.
That last point is perhaps the most important. It means that when violent death happens, the cops are entitled to look into it, gather evidence and arrest anyone they think might be involved. The courts then have the power to pass sentence and hand out punishment. Not all aspects of life are so simple. In fact, there are times when things are c ...

- Tyranny Terror And Moral Relativism - America's Shifting Battlefronts
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Now America must fight terrorism with equal determination and skill as it once did against rising tyrannies. Unwittingly, America may be losing to an equally serious enemy right on her own home field. Pop culture, liberal trends and moral relativism are becoming the norm for millions each year and the trend may be out-pacing any and all previous threats to our future.
The battle against tyranny began when America began. The first dangerous journeys across the pond to the new land ...

- Our Unity Is A Scientific Reality
By: Robert Najemy | - For many centuries spiritual leaders have taught us that we are one family and that the solution to all of our problems is to live in unity, peace, love and cooperation. Christ gave special emphasis to these values and encouraged his followers to think of God as their mutual Father and all persons as their brothers and sisters.
Although some efforts have been made in that direction, such as the United Nations, the European Union and other - mostly economic - forms of cooperation, ...

- How We Create Our Personal Reality
By: Robert Najemy | - In order to be able to love purely and steadily we need to understand how our reality is created A major obstacle to pure and steady love is our confusion about who is responsible for what happens to us and how we feel about it. This confusion is caused by two mistaken perceptions:
1. That others cause our reality. When we believe this, we feel pain, bitterness, anger and hate when we do not have what we want and need.
2. That we are the cause or creators of others' ...

- The Ethical Debate Over Ivf
By: Victoria Caldwell | - The ethical dilemma of IVF is a pretty heated debate. One opinion dictates that women who are infertile should accept God's will and not take drastic measures to try and conceive. The drastic measures here would be IVF. The other side of the argument feels that it is okay for a couple to undergo such treatment to aid in conception.
The first argument states that couples that undergo IVF treatment are trying to play God by trying to alter what God has willed for them. Of cour ...

- The Purpose Of Yoga - Accepting Change
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - There is a need for us to accept changes, but not at the cost of compromising our ethics. This is a "tough call" because, as times, change morality can change to. What is acceptable today was forbidden yesterday, but the opposite can be said, if we look into our history.
If we observe the Yamas and Niyamas, or The Ten Commandments, we should not change our morality because it is in fashion. On the other hand, our neighbors may be of a religion, which we do not really understand.< ...

- You Won't See This One Coming
By: Gary Kurz | - Have you ever seen the punch line coming when someone was telling a joke? It isn't necessarily that the joke teller did a poor job, but rather that the outcome was obvious to you. Or perhaps someone was telling you a story, but the moral was apparent to you long before the person reached it? In courtesy you managed to squeeze out a chuckle or nod your head in approval, but there really was no surprise or humor for you.
Well here is a true story with an ending that should catch ...

- Conscience
By: Wysong | - When I was a child my parents told me what was right and wrong, school had its rules and church had its sins. To be a good boy, all I needed to do was obey all the do's and don'ts. If I did, I was led to believe I was following my conscience.
This view of conscience can carry into and through adult life so that one's perception of right and wrong is shaped totally by the dictates of others. Is conscience just a product of nurture? Are we mere blank moral slates at birth or do we h ...

- Lumber - An Example Of Canadian Trade Hypocrisy
By: Stew Mayers | - You have to love a country that disengages itself from reality so often. The Canadians smug, moralistic, largely ignorant about history, economics and the world at large declare themselves superior, intelligent and advanced. The Multi-Cult club of anti-Western, anti-American and anti-Jewish policy reigns beloved. Whole industries lie under government control to the detriment of bank accounts and morality. Boards manage all commodities excluding oil. Lumber which is a politically sensitive and ...

- Telus' Leadership Lesson In Brand Mismanagement
By: Jeff Mowatt | - Telus' Leadership Lesson in Brand Mismanagement
I find it interesting how word spread about how Telus, Canada's second largest phone company, decided to be the first wireless provider to offer to sell downloads of pornographic images and videos. Of course 'Telus' didn't make the decision. It was Telus' leadership that approved it and, astonishingly, defended the position - right up until overwhelming customer and investor protests forced management to cancel the program.

- Understanding Christian Debt Consolidation
By: Peter J. Mason | - You can find a whole lot of Christian debt consolidation companies which seemingly dispel the beliefs of Christianity. This is however incorrect. In their defense, these Christian debt consolidation companies claim that it is Biblical to make use of the programs implemented by a Christian debt consolidation company. The morality of the fact that even a Christian can fall into debt, is a much discussed question within the Christian community.
While a fragment of the community feels ...

- The Ethics Of Peer-to-peer Networks
By: Peter Nisbet | - There is nothing illegal about peer-to-peer networks, and nothing illegal with using them to distribute files. What is illegal is to use these networks and associated software to download material which is protected by copyright.
It is not always obvious what is still copyright protected, though you can be fairly certain that anything recent, such as recent chart hits or new computer games, cannot be legally copied using P2P software. Blockbuster films will also be copyright pro ...

- A Confrontational Conversation
By: eileen fleming | - "Father Paul, you cannot possibly be telling me that an Episcopal priest has been taken in by fundamentalist theology?" Terese incredulously asked the new Assistant to the Rector at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Orlando who also served at the noon mass every Wednesday.
Father Paul Hendricks was a passionate evangelist on a mission to convert every Jew he encountered to become a Christian. Terese had kept her silence for the first six months she had been listening to his Wednesday ...

By: eileen fleming | - I don't have a degree in journalism, but when I was a kid, I wanted to grow up and be Brenda Starr: the red-headed ace investigative journalist of the Sunday comics. I even worked as a copy girl for one year after high school, but decided to go into nursing and that led me to marry a doctor, which enabled me to travel four times to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the last year and a half.
I am one spoiled American who lives a comfortable life on ten acres in paradise: an ...

Successful social justice movements have always been grounded in the universal ethical spiritual truths that are shared by all the worlds' great religions.
It was progressive Christians who sought to abolish slavery and then bring into reality the founding ...

By: eileen fleming | - On October 31, 2006 I will return to Israel and Palestine for my fourth visit since June 2005. I will be a member of Sabeel's 6th International Conference and Reality Tour through the West Bank to meet, learn from and then be an advocate for the Forgotten Faithful: Palestinian Christians.
Since 1948, the Christian population of the land we call Holy has gone from 20% of the total population, to less than 1.3% and continues to shrink fast. The reasons are many, to name a few: The O ...

- Ahimsa: Not Hurting Others By Thought, Word Or Deed
By: Dada Vedaprajinananda | - Ahimsa is the first of the moral principles that form the basis of yoga. It means not to hurt others by thought, word or deed. It sounds simple enough, but through the ages there have been different interpretations of Ahimsa and even today there are a lot of questions about the application of this yogic principle. Let's take a look at a definition of Ahimsa that is suitable for the 21st Century.
We shouldn't hurt others, but what does this mean? Does others refer to other human ...

- The Illogic Of Rejecting Morality Without God
By: Hugh Rosen | - I believe that a person can be moral without embracing a religion or believing in God.
This is not, however, a polemical attack against organized religion or faith in God. The whole point of this piece is, in fact, that these are two distinct entities and that embracing a religion or having belief in God is not a necessary condition for moral behavior, even though a religion may provide a moral doctrine to guide an individual.
Many years ago, when I was a college ...

- Yama And Niyama: The Foundation Stones Of Yoga
By: Dada Vedaprajinananda | - Yoga is more popular now than it has ever been. Famous entertainers and other celebrities practice it and thousands or perhaps millions of other people are also doing yoga exercises in one form or another. Yet, despite this widespread popularity, yoga is still misunderstood. Many people think that yoga is primarily a physical activity, something that they can use to get their body in shape. While it is true that yoga has a great role to play in the physical realm, yoga is much more than this.
