Man S Past And Present

On The Concept of History is a politics & social sciences essay written by German philosopher and social science critic Walter Benjamin. On The Concept of History is one of Walter Benjamin's best known, and most controversial works. The politics & social sciences essay is composed of twenty numbered paragraphs in which Benjamin uses poetic and scientific analogies to present a critique of historicism. Walter Benjamin wrote the brief essay shortly before attempting to escape from Vichy France, where French collaborationist government officials were handing over Jewish refugees like Walter Benjamin to the Nazi Gestapo. Walter Benjamin completed On The Concept of History before fleeing to Spain where he unfortunately committed suicide. Benjamin's work is often required textbook reading in various subjects such as humanities, philosophy, and politics & social sciences.

This book is written by Max Heindel, the founder, and Messenger of The Rosicrucian Fellowship. This is a reference book of the Fellowship students and Probationers. This book is also referred as Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity. The founder of the Christian Religion stated an occult maxim when He said: "Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter therein" (Mark 10:15). All occultists recognize the far-reaching importance of this teaching of Christ and endeavor to "live" it day by day. When a new philosophy is presented to the world it is met in different ways by different people. One person will grasp with avidity any new philosophical effort in an endeavor to ascertain how far it supports his own ideas. To such an one the philosophy itself is of minor importance. Its prime value will be its vindication of HIS ideas. If the work comes up to expectation in that respect, he will enthusiastically adopt it and cling to it with a most unreasoning partisanship; if not, he will probably lay the book down in disgust and disappointment, feeling as if the author had done him an injury. Another adopts an attitude of skepticism as soon as he discovers that it contains something which HE has not previously read, heard, or originated in his own thought. He would probably resent as extremely unjustified the accusation that his mental attitude is the acme of self- satisfaction and intolerance; such is nevertheless the case; and thus he shuts his mind to any truth which may possibly be hidden in that which he off-hand rejects. Both these classes stand in their own light. "Set" ideas render them impervious to rays of truth. "A little child" is the very opposite of its elders in that respect. It is not imbued with an overwhelming sense of superior knowledge, nor does it feel compelled to look wise or to hide its nescience of any subject by a smile or a sneer. It is frankly ignorant, unfettered by preconceived opinions and therefore eminently teachable. It takes everything with that beautiful attitude of trust which we have designated "child-like faith," wherein there is not the shadow of a doubt. There the child holds the teaching it receives until proven or disproven. In all occult schools the pupil is first taught to forget all else when a new teaching is being given, to allow neither preference nor prejudice to govern, but to keep the mind in a state of calm, dignified waiting. As skepticism will blind us to truth in the most effective manner, so this calm, trustful attitude of the mind will allow the intuition, or "teaching from within," to become aware of the truth contained in the proposition. That is the only way to cultivate an absolutely certain perception of truth. The pupil is not required to believe off-hand that a given object which he has observed to be white, is really black, when such a statement is made to him; but he must cultivate an attitude of mind which "believeth all things" as possible. That will allow him to put by for the time being even what are generally considered "established facts," and investigate if perchance there be another viewpoint hitherto unobserved by him whence the object referred to would appear black. Indeed, he would not allow himself to look upon anything as "an established fact," for he realizes thoroughly the importance of keeping his mind in the fluidal state of adaptability which characterizes the little child. He realizes in every fiber of his being that "now we see through a glass, darkly," and Ajax-like he is ever on the alert, yearning for "Light, more Light." The enormous advantage of such an attitude of mind when investigating any given subject, object or idea must be apparent.

It has been 16 years since Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was found from Kaposi's sarcoma. Very extensive studies on KSHV have been performed and we now know well that KSHV is actually the very etiologic agent to cause Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease and this virus is an oncogenic DNA virus in such sense. Though a lot of reports have been published, there are lots of enigmas on its epidemiology, entry, lytic replication/induction, viral particle assembly/egress, latency, oncogenesis and so on. At this time point, it is better for us to review what we learned from the studies of this virus and consider what we have to clarify about this virus nature for future by comparing the virus with the other virus research.

The ultimate defeat of a nation begins at home. When the ethical values of the people at the personal, family and social levels degenerate, the spiritual, intellectual and physical health of the nation also gets weakened. Mankind has only two kinds of core values: some religions command to love even the enemies while others command to kill the enemies. USA is not just the most powerful nation in the world. It is also the most coveted society in the world, because of its highest quality value system due to Biblical Christian faith. Ultimately there is only one God, one mankind, one problem, one solution, and hence there can have only one value system for mankind. But the shadow of a great global tension and suicidal mutual conflict, caused by the many contradictory god-views, religions, worldviews, truth claims, ideologies and value systems, is right now visible. Defending the high ideal of loving the enemies could be easy. But the ultimate challenge of foreign policy is about practicing the high ideals of the nation even in the process of defending those ideals, in a crooked and inimical world. The biggest dilemma in US foreign policy is whether it can practice its value of even loving its enemies, and still exist as a nation to defend it values? Practicing the values and defending the values should go hand in hand. A very judicial combination of practicing the values and defending those who hold the value system, are essential due to individual eternal consequences. To defend the values of freedom, unfortunately the USA had to succumb to death and murder, during the cold war, in effect failing to practice its values in the process of defending it. Hence the struggle confronting individuals from the family level to the international levels is the struggle of practicing the high values at the real life situations. The shocking truth is that victorious Christian life always demands self sacrifice. But there are false gods, religions and value systems whose followers don’t have to follow any of these values, and hence have an easy life. It is high time to realize that anything that comes in the name of any god, religion or worldview is not safe. The core values function as the touchstone for testing the quality of any god, religion, worldview or truth claim. Mankind cannot peacefully survive, if communities of people don’t have good values and morality to practice. Faulty definitions of freedom and secularism have led to the growth of evil to such levels where now people will have to resort to killing for survival. Hence the state governments must implement the right view of secularism. It will be suicidal to any society, to allow anyone to promote evil values, in the name of religious freedom and secularism. It should become the primary responsibility of the supreme legal system in any nation to examine the basic documents of the religions, identify and declare which ones contain unhealthy values affecting the character of the people. The State should not allow any group to promote and practice unhealthy values in the label of any religion. The values of the Christian faith are undeniable, that no legal system can deny these values, and the evils which Christian faith prohibits, no legal system can approve. It stands for loving enemy, and telling the truth. Those who reject Christian faith can never stand on a more logical faith. It is written in the Bible that Jesus died on the cross for mankind, and rose from the dead on the third day. Those who have the wisdom to believe these plain facts, will be able to believe that Jesus is in fact the true God in human form, and will worship Him.
