| ARTICLES RELATED TO Being | | | | | |  Being: Encyclopedia II - Bes - MythologyBes, like many other Egyptian Gods, went through many metamorphosis in his history. As Bes' cult was never official, and he never had dedicated temples or priests, the details of the particular deity are even more difficult to trace. Researches such as Richard Wilkinson believe that in its later inceptions Bes was a grand general term encompassing up to ten weaker deities - Aha, Amam, the earlier Bes, Hayet, Ihty, Mefdjet, Menew, Segeb, Sopdu and Tetenu. And as those minor deities became associated with Bes, the greater Bes was also becoming associated with the even greater set of protective deities such as Amun, Min, ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Bes - Iconography Modern scholars such as James Romano demonstrated that in its earliest inceptions, Bes was a representation of a lion rearing up on its hind legs. Over time, this image became grossly distorted, and he came to be seen as a hideously ugly dwarf, with long tongue, bow legs, and some feline body parts, and sometimes a lion's head.
After the Third Intermediate Period, Bes is often seen as just the head ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Bes - Worship Images of the god were kept in homes to ward off evil, and so he was depicted quite differently from the other gods. Normally gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in portrait, ithyphallic, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil.
Bes was a household protector, throughout its history becoming responsible for such varied tasks as killing snakes, fighting off evil spirits, watching after children, and aiding (by fighting off evil spirits) women in labour (and thus p ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Category of being - Categories of being Philosophers have many differing views on what the fundamental categories of being are. In no particular order, here are at least some items that have been regarded as categories of being by someone or other:
Category of being - Physical objects.
Physical objects are beings; certainly they are said to be in the simple sense that they exist all around us. So a house is a being, a person's body is a being, a tree is a being, a cloud is a being, and so on. They are beings because, and in ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - One Being - History First introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception, The One Being is considered to be the origin of each of the six Realms of Mortal Kombat (Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm, and Edenia). According to ancient legend, in the beginning of time, there only existed the One Being and the Elder Gods. The One Being, in his foolish pride, declared war on the Elder Gods in attempt to gain ultimate power. Eventually, the Elder Gods defeated the One Being, and, in efforts to weaken the One Being's omnipotence, the Elder ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - One Being - Storyline At the time of the universe's creation, there were the One Being, and the Elder Gods. The One Being, arrogant as a result from its nigh-omnipotence, foolishly declared war on the Elder Gods. In order to defeat the One Being, the Elder Gods created the Kamidogu and with it, they shattered its consciousness, creating what is now called existence.
For aeons, the One Being's subconscious remained in a dormant state. It is unknown if the Dragon King was the first to serve the One Being's purposes, but because of Onaga's hunger for power, O ...

| | | | | | | | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Culture of human beings - Humanism Humanism as a philosophy defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which includes all of humanity and all issues common to human beings. Because collective spirituality often manifests as religion, the history of which is as factious as it is unitive, secular humanism grew as an answer to the need for a common philosophy that transcended the cultural boundaries of local moral codes and religions. Many humanists are religious, however, and see humanism as simply a ma ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Culture of human beings - Language The faculty of speech may be a defining feature of humanity, probably predating phylogenetic separation of the modern population. (See Proto-World language, Origins of language.) Language is central to the communication between humans. The Hebrew word for "animal" (behemah) means "mute", defining humans as the "speaking animal" (animal loquens), though some scientists argue that non-human animals are able to use language too, and that non-human primates are able to learn human sign language [1] [2] (pdf), a subject of ongoing controversy among linguists. Language can be central to the sen ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Culture of human beings - Religion Scientists and naturalist philosophers largely agree that humans consist of a body alone (roughly the physicalist or reductionist view); or that they also have minds, the locus of, or another word for, consciousness (roughly the dualist position).
However, many people further believe that humans also have a soul or spirit that survives death; that is, they believe there is an afterlife. There is debate within religious organizations as to whether non-human animals can be said to have souls; some believe they do, while others believe t ...

| | | | | Being: Encyclopedia II - Being and Nothingness - Connection to No Exit Men and women will always be in a world of other people, who can capture him within their gaze, reducing him to his external materiality. They will take his measure, call him hero, coward, nonentity, fool, etc. And then, at last, they will tote up the balance sheet of his life after his death.
Thus, for Sartre's Garcin, in No Exit, hell is other people.
