This short story, ¿Alexandra David Neels¿ is the fourth in this writer¿s series of short stories about great women in history. The previous short stories now in published form, were; the story of Sophie (Mary) Pierce (Lady Heath) ¿ in the publication ¿The Silver Lining¿, ¿Tina Turner¿, ¿Sinead O¿Connor¿ (Sinead).This story is primarily about Alexandra, as she was the inspirational influence as a result of which I set out to write her story. However, when travelling in her footsteps the writer discovered many other ¿treasures¿ in the form of indigenous beliefs, major religions and their motivations designed by wise men and women in order to make matters of life and death more meaningful and lifestyles more perfect. This writer has included aspects of these so that the reader can be better informed with regard to the beliefs and the aspirations not only of Alexandra but also of those that she encountered and studied. The research involved, led to the outlining, and summarising of, some very complex belief systems. Alexandräs personal journey and mission focused mainly on the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan region.

This book was compiled, at the request of the CITIC Press, by Liang Peikuan ¿¿¿ (1925¿2021), the son of Liang Shuming ¿¿¿ (1893¿1988). Liang Shuming was known as the "Last Confucian," the "Last Buddhist," the "Hidden Buddhist," a "lifelong activist," a "unifier of thought and action," and so on. Part I "The Spirit of the Chinese Culture" is a collection of excerpts from Liang Shuming¿s previous publications, including his most famous Eastern and Western Cultures and Their Philosophies (1922). Part II "China and the West: Two Different Paths of Social Evolution" and Part III "The Need to Bring into Union Chinäs Strengths and Foreign Strengths" are the first reprints of what Liang Shuming wrote more than seventy years ago, between 1942 and 1949, too late to be included in the Complete Works of Liang Shuming (1989¿1993). The book looks at the cultural destiny of China, as Liang perceived it, of course.

Extended suicides of veterans being cared for in wellness courses. Influence of enemy agents or friendly fire from within the ranks?

But what the hell does his pregnant girlfriend Evi want to do there?

Religious extremism is a phenomenon that is very rampant on the table of discourse both in local and international forum. The research looked at religious extremism among Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, using ¿Boko Haram¿ sect as a case study. It presented the causes and effects of religious extremism. It is discovered in the study that the Nigerian society, religious extremism (violence and crisis) is more rampant in the Northern part of the country than any other part. The study recommended among other things, that religious educational enlightenment in Nigeria should be properly taught which would be centered on religious tolerance and understanding. The study recommended that the Nigerian constitution should avoid constitutional segregation as it pertains to religious matters, hence the need for constitutional review. The study also recommended that proper involvement of medical personnel and psychologists should be put in place, through which psycho centers and rehabilitation centers should be established to re-orientate the minds of the religious extremists instead of killing them.

When purpose is not known , abuse is inevitable. Everybody has a purpose in life and reasons for existence, and while some individuals are aware of it from an early age, others must work hard to discover it, especially when they consciously call unto God for divine revelations. Working in the purpose of God gives your life speed of accomplishment, extra energy and magnificent result on daily basis. Even though it's not immediately clear what you're on earth for, you might need some time to figure it out through diverse spiritual encounters. Everyone has skills or abilities to give to the society and the world around them; the key challenge is figuring out how to make the necessary efforts where they may have an impact that will correspond to economic benefits. To fulfil God's purpose in life, however, we must also take into account the decisions and behaviours we exhibit. Without a clear understanding of why we exist as humans, life becomes a mere experimentation with improbable results. In the current book, the author employed Dr. Myles Munroe's leadership principles and other anointed men of God to offer new chances for people to find their purpose in life.

Esoteric knowledge is vast, ancient, sometimes tinged with inaccuracies, but it is as important as scientific knowledge. We live in two realities: a tangible reality, visible to all, and a less visible world, that of spirits, of vibrations, which is just as present. Our soul, for example, is bathed in this spiritual plane that we find in our sleep. However, our modern western world has only retained physical, quantifiable knowledge. This makes us diminished, incomplete, unbalanced beings.Enuma Elish - The Anunnaki - Mars Colony - The ¿a.AMi, from Nibiru - The Snake brotherhood - Mu - Atlantis - Pyramids all over the planet - Nuclear wars B.C - The 35 steps of reincarnation, etc.

The San or Samo are located in the Sanpiè (San country) in the northwest of Burkina Faso. They practise the cult of masks called sou, which they adopted from their southern neighbours the Nuna-Léla 'Gurunsi' probably around the 18th century. The San society that uses masks is limited to the southern part of the country, where about twenty villages have known masks, even if today barely half of them use them. The celebration of the sou in the San villages has among other objectives the establishment of peace. The present reflection establishes a relationship between the cult of masks and peace. The search for peace is one of the reasons why the San have borrowed the penny. Also, the analysis of the behaviours imposed during the period of this cult reflects the San's desire to make their social environment a calm place during this time.

Das Gebiet der San oder Samo ist das Sanpiè (Pays San) im Nordwesten Burkinas. Sie praktizieren einen Maskenkult, der Sou genannt wird und den sie von ihren südlichen Nachbarn, den Gurunsi Nuna-Léla, wahrscheinlich um das 18. Die San-Gesellschaft, die Masken besitzt, beschränkt sich auf ihren südlichen Teil, wo etwa zwanzig Dörfer die Masken kannten, auch wenn heute nur noch knapp die Hälfte der Dörfer sie benutzt. Die Feier des Sou in den San-Dörfern hat unter anderem das Ziel, Frieden zu stiften. Die vorliegende Reflexion stellt eine Verbindung zwischen dem Maskenkult und dem Frieden her. Das Streben nach Frieden ist einer der Gründe, warum die San den Sou ausgeliehen haben. Auch die Analyse der Verhaltensweisen, die während der Zeit dieses Kults auferlegt werden, spiegelt den Willen der San wider, ihr soziales Umfeld während dieser Zeit zu einem ruhigen Ort zu machen.

I San o Samo si trovano nel Sanpiè (paese dei San), nel nord-ovest del Burkina Faso. Praticano il culto delle maschere chiamate sou, che hanno adottato dai loro vicini meridionali, i Nuna-Léla "Gurunsi", probabilmente intorno al XVIII secolo. La società San che utilizza le maschere è limitata alla parte meridionale del Paese, dove una ventina di villaggi hanno conosciuto le maschere, anche se oggi quasi la metà di essi le utilizza. La celebrazione del sou nei villaggi San ha tra gli altri obiettivi l'instaurazione della pace. La presente riflessione stabilisce una relazione tra il culto delle maschere e la pace. La ricerca della pace è una delle ragioni per cui i San hanno preso in prestito il penny. Inoltre, l'analisi dei comportamenti imposti durante il periodo di questo culto riflette il desiderio dei San di rendere il loro ambiente sociale un luogo tranquillo durante questo periodo.

A sociedade San que utiliza máscaras limita-se à parte sul do país, onde cerca de vinte aldeias têm máscaras conhecidas, embora actualmente apenas metade delas as utilize. A celebração do sou nas aldeias San tem, entre outros objectivos, o estabelecimento da paz. A presente reflexão estabelece uma relação entre o culto das máscaras e a paz. A procura da paz é uma das razões pelas quais os San tomaram emprestado o tostão.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Theology - Comparative Religion Studies, grade: 65, , course: Religious Studies, language: English, abstract: The thrust and concern of this paper is to examine the potential and the hope African indigenous religion have amidst Christianity and Islam mostly on the Nigerians. Prior to the advent and spread of external forces of change engendered by colonialism, commerce and foreign religions, Africans have their religion; in other words, the indigenous African way of worship and life. The study employed phenomenological method. The word phenomenological is an adjective derived from the noun ¿phenomenology¿. The primary objectives of the phenomenological method of research is the direct investigation and explanation of phenomena as consciously experienced without theories about their causal explanation and as free as possible from preconceptions and presuppositions. The study found out among other things the continuous influence of African indigenous religion on the people despite the growth of Christianity and Islam in African nations on a daily basis. This study therefore investigates the hindrance of foreign religious on the religio-cultural life of African (Nigerian) people specifically; on the African religion. The study examines how Christians ideas have influenced the religion, culture, conception of life and worldview of African peoples hence affecting its continuity.

Professorial Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), grade: 1,0, Selçuk University (Faculty of Islamic Studies), course: philosophy and religious studies, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the two concepts of "spandrel" and "fitrah" in the context of the Cognitive Science of Religion and, opposed to that, evolutionary thinking. Despite that the two concepts in this study's title seem to have the same meaning, they are understood differently due to differences in perspective. Both concepts acknowledge that human beings have certain innate faculties and claim that these faculties predispose them to believe and be moral. Spandrel argues that these innate faculties are a result of adaptations that enable us to survive in the evolutionary process, while "fitrah" asserts that these faculties are given by God. In the study, first, the experimental studies proposed by the proponents of the idea of spandrel and the general ideas of the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) are given. Then, it has been established, through experimental tests, that these faculties, proposed by this theory, have similar aspects with the "Commonsense Principles" put forward by Thomas Reid, and his epistemological views have been conveyed. According to him, we should rely on the information provided by these faculties and accept that they are essential for reasoning. After these determinations were made, the study argued that the concept of "fitrah" aligns with the idea of the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) and Thomas Reid's views.

Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Theology - Comparative Religion Studies, grade: 1.3, University of Göttingen (Centre for Modern Indian Studies), course: Modern Indian Studies, language: English, abstract: This paper wants to portray the changing nature of religion in India which causes nothing but segregation among people in the period of the colonial to postcolonial era. Hindu the predominating religion in India and the attempt to make India a Hindu country many times caused major harm to other communities.After colonial domination, significantly in contemporary times (last 6 to 7 years), religiosity among people took a horrendous form in India. The growing intolerance for a hollow ideology like religion makes the country an uncomfortable habitation for minorities. The Media sphere is also largely influenced and subservient to religious notions. Religion is an excellent apparatus for political gain. Over time the salience of religion transforms public life and became highly politicized.

The aim of this study is to sketch out the main policies formulated by the EU in the last 10-15 years in an attempt to fill the gap created by its previously negligent attitude towards the immigration phenomenon, from its inception in the 1950s up to the 1990s, the decade when Europe suddenly awoke to the necessity of addressing the challenges posed by heavy migration flows. Before the EU started to contain such flows, the Member States had to deal with their new ¿guests'' on their own. This situation is examined in the first part of this study, along with an introduction to various meanings of integration models. Part II looks at attempts at the EU level to harmonise the integration policies of its members.The last part closes with a focus on Muslim immigrants in Europe since the 1950s, and how they have been (dis-)integrated, or are still undergoing a process of integration, and what challenges this process brings. The study ends with a call for a greater understanding of the essence of the issue under focus. This is a well-argued introductory work for students and academics interested in Muslim immigration and EU integration policies.
