New X-Men, formerly known as X-Men volume 2, changed its name when writer Grant Morrison stepped in with issue #114. The idea by the newly appointed Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada, was for flagship titles like X-Men to regain some of it's former glory, as well as regaining critical acclaim. Morrison's run lived up to the "new" in the name, adding many fresh and original ideas to his X-Men run, and placing the team of Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Beast, Emma Frost and Xorn into the role of teachers.

Theosophy - Consciousness is universal and individual. According to Theosophy, nature does not operate by chance. Every event, past or present, happens because of laws which are part of a Universal Paradigm. Theosophists hold that everything, living or not, is "impregnated" with Consciousness. This paradigm has been called variously God (nonpersonal), Law, Heaven, the Great Architect, Evolution, and Logos. The term used in this article is "paradigm." See also:

Like any philosophical movement, the nature and content of pragmatism is a subject of considerable debate, whether it is one of exegesis (determining what the original pragmatists thought it was) or subtantive philosophical theory (what is the most defensible theory that satisfies certain goals). The term pragmatism was first used by William James, who attributed the doctrine to Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced 'purse'). Peirce later went on to disavow the term in favour of 'pragmaticism', in order to distinguish his views from those of Ja ...

The word "Kurmi" and why many of the Vedic Kshatriyas would use this term, reflects the advent and reasons for the advent of religions such as Buddhism and Jainism. The "Kurmi" movement as a national movement was started in the northern and eastern regions relatively recently to offset their tiny numbers. By 500 BC, many of the traditional Kshatriyas throughout India and Nepal no longer were initiated into Vedas. This fact is attested to by Gautam Buddha who himself in Pali texts calls mantras of the Brahmins a secret, but the Dharma ...

Devil - Christianity. Christianity understands the Devil in the context of the Old Testament. Unlike Manichaeism which teaches a coeval dualism, Christians see the devil as a corrupted or fallen angel. He was Lucifer, an angel in authority before the Creation (theology) who fell because of pride and because he waged a war against God. The key fact in understanding the devil is that he was originally a holy being who was corrupted by pride.

The core story of the work is that of a dynastic struggle for the throne of Hastinapura, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan.

Reincarnation - Eastern religions and traditions. In India this doctrine was thoroughly established from ancient times. While metempsychosis was not established in the older sections of the Vedas, it was explicated first in the Upanishads (c. 1000 BC - AD 4), which are philosophico-mystic texts held to be the essence of the Vedas. The idea that the soul reincarnates is intricately linked to karma, whose first explication was also seen in the Hindu books of the Upanishads. The idea is that individua ...

It has been advanced that the pervasive influence of Jain culture and philosophy in ancient Bihar gave rise to Buddhism. The Buddhists always maintained that by the time Buddha and Mahavira were alive, Jainism was already an ancient and deeply entrenched faith and culture in the region.
