Evaluating Outdated Beliefs

The object of these scripts is to expose and air out the unprovable stances and influences of religious belief and its exploitation with no absolute condemnation on conventional beliefs. Conventional religion tends to cancel itself with the passage of time. Detailed descriptions are enclosed. The nutshell has it that in comparing archaic beliefs to unfolding beliefs, time is revealing a picture of inevitable and irreversible changes in those beliefs. Following the process of these changes will allow one to blend with them while broadening their scope on life or whatever else. Humans have precariously searched for a form of security that lessened the burden of exposure to accepting responsibility for living a life on planet Earth. Then, someone or other discovered, invented or rationalized something they believed was bigger and more powerful than them. Over a period of mankinds time, that power of belief became a dominant source of security and eventually emanated a belief of living forever in this illusionary state of security. Humans have been trapped into misconception, misunderstanding and vulnerable susceptibility for millenniums concerning their nature of choice in believing almost anything including the need for some type of mind salvation. An evolution of belief is slowly transforming from archaic views to a spiritual, consciousness of future orientation. Insight on basic and spiritual belief is covered.

Charles Taylor (1931- ) is one of the leading living philosophers. This is the first extended study on the key notions of his views in philosophical anthropology and ethical theory. Firstly, Laitinen clarifies, qualifies and defends Taylor's thesis that transcendental arguments show that personal understandings concerning ethical and other values (so called "strong evaluation") is necessary, in different ways, for human agency, selfhood, identity and personhood. Secondly, Laitinen defends and develops in various ways Taylor's value realism. Finally, the book criticizes Taylor's view that it is necessary to identify and locate a constitutive source of value, such as God, Nature or Human Reason. Taylor relies heavily on this claim in his accounts of moral life, modern identity and, most recently, secularisation. Laitinen argues that the whole notion of constitutive moral source should be dropped – Taylor's views concerning strong evaluation and value realism are distorted by the question of constitutive "moral sources".

The We Between Us is a preparatory study of social, emotional, intimate, and intellectual background and general makeup or all that exists between two people, two groups or two nations generally. This study helps reveal those attributes as potential grounds where two entities have connected somehow for determining their future in relating or relationships of any nature (love, romance, marriage, family, business, negotiating or peacemaking). This study may also be used as a lifelong practice relating with others more proficiently. It is comprehensive and less time-consuming than courting or negotiating. Remember, though, this is definitely not a book to leisurely drift into a dreamland of literary escape. This is a study to boil down what relationships are, can, or will be.

If ever a person wanted to read on opening up a can of worms on a controversial subject, this is one of them. This is one of the king daddies of all the controversial issues. Its about the beginning, the interim, and the now, where conventional religion started, where it has been going and the changing route it is headed into. It may resist its inevitable destiny, or it may conform to the slow-moving new way of individual spirituality. The text is comprehensive, rational, and may be a bit startling to uninformed, naive, and inflexible believers while informative to nonbelievers, but is definitely an eye and ear opener for everyone. Your author recommends reading Evaluating Outdated Beliefs first as a preparation for further understanding the progression submitted in this issue of unfolding spiritual change.

Many of us have been so preoccupied day by day with our usual routines at whatever age of work, play, school, domestic activity, worry, and hurry among unforeseen surprises setting us back and off the track of our desired goals. Sometimes that causes even more problems and setbacks. Preventing and/or offsetting those possibilities are innovated in this material through a process of reviewing what we didnt know, were or werent responsible for, what our path has been, what our detrimental habits and fantasies were and are, how we missed our chances, how our attitudes have formed, and whether we made necessary changes as we see are necessary now for correcting our errors or blunders of the past. Its all designed to help make our future better and survivable.

Understanding Loss to Relieve the Anguish delves into the question of whether a loss is really a loss and if it is necessary to suffer as a result or just an overemphasized reaction to what is conventionally believed to be a loss. Your author supports and writes about how profoundly effective the power of belief and feelings are in any state of mind and how one can save a lot of lifes precious time mourning in misery with the gloom-and-doom of loss by exchanging that energy for creative energy, which bypasses the gloom-and-doom state of mind and creates reason to use loss as a possible catalyst for offsetting the misery of loss and becoming more inspired to feel better. The book is about turning sorrowful feelings into creative accomplishments as the ongoing order of the day for a more meaningfully rewarding life.
