| ARTICLES RELATED TO Karma | | | |  Karma: Encyclopedia II - Bible and reincarnation - History of Canonical and extra-biblical writingsBy exponents of New Age the theory has been voiced, that reincarnation is not incompatible with Christianity, but was suppressed by the church (or the pope or the emperor Constantine) in order to increase the power and influence of the church. According to this theory, the texts that offered the greatest acceptance of Roman Pagan doctrine were made part of biblical canon; those that tended to re ...

| | | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - New Age - Language Many adherents of belief systems characterised as New Age rely heavily on the use of metaphors to describe experiences deemed to be beyond the empirical. Consciously or unconsciously, New Agers tend to redefine vocabulary borrowed from various belief systems, which can cause some confusion as well as increase opposition from skeptics and the traditional religions. In particular, the adoption of terms from the language of science such as "energy", "energy fields", and various terms borrowed from quantum physics and psychology but not then app ...

| | | | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - New Age - Quotations In Experiential Spirituality and Contemporary Gnosis Diane Brandon writes:
"And this emphasis on spirituality and consciousness reflects an acknowledgment that we are, in essence, spiritual beings - and beings of pure energy, as consciousness is a form of energy - even though we are "in the body."
Deepak Chopra:
"...our bodies are contained within our consciousness, not our consciousness contained within our bodies."
Michael Sharp:
"As above in consciou ...

| | | | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - New Age - Underlying assumptions Judging by its name, the New Age movement ought to involve millenarian claims, perhaps of a glorious future age which is about to begin. As such it could theoretically be traced back to the time of Zoroaster, or to biblical apocalypticism. While such expectations are encountered often enough—e.g., the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, pole shifts and paradigm shifts, the imminent end of the Mayan calendar—the predominant themes of the New Age are mystical rather than apocalyptic. Hence the widespread interest within this subculture in the ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Hindu views of sin In Hinduism, the term sin or pavam is often used to describe actions that create negative karma.
Sin, in Hinduism, besides creating negative karma, is violating moral and ethical codes as in the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In fact, it is much described in the scriptures that chanting the name of Hari or Narayana or Shiva is the only way to atone for sins, prevent rebirth and attain moksha. For reference, see the famous story of Ajamila, described in a story described in the Bhagavata Purana.See also:Sin, Sin - Etymology, Sin - Jewish views of sin, Sin - Jewish conceptions of atonement for sin, Sin - Hebrew Concept of Sin, Sin - Christian views of sin, Sin - In General, Sin - Roman Catholic Views, Sin - Eastern/Oriental Orthodox Views, Sin - Protestant Views, Sin - Christian teachings on Atonement or the Remedy for Sin, Sin - Muslim views of sin, Sin - Hindu views of sin, Sin - Atheist views of sin, Sin - Notes and references Read more here: » Sin: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Hindu views of sin |

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Muslim views of sin Islam sees sin (dhanb ذنب) as anything that goes against the will of Allah. Muslims believe that God is angered by sin and punishes some sinners with the fires of Hell (jahannam), but that He is also the Merciful (ar-rahman) and the Forgiving (al-ghaffar), and forgives those who repent and serve Him:
Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forg ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Atheist views of sin To the atheist, the concept of sin isn't very useful; human behavior is not regulated by "commandments" given from above, but by moral standards derived from natural sources. This does not mean there are no guiding moral principles, but rather, that morality is not seen as something imposed externally by a divine being or based upon beliefs advocated by a given religion. In this sense, sin is a theological term a ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Karma in Hinduism - Definition Karma literally means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction which governs all life. Karma is not fate, for man acts with free will creating his own destiny. According to the Vedas, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concommitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate reaction. Not all karmas rebound immediately. Some accumulate ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - New Age - Beliefs The following are some common — though by no means universal — beliefs found among New Agers:
All humanity—indeed all life, everything in the universe—is spiritually interconnected, participating in the same energy. “God” is one name for this energy.
Spiritual beings (e.g. angels, ascended masters, elementals, ghosts, and/or space aliens) exist, and will guide us, if we open ourselves to their guidance.
The human mind has deep levels and vast powers, which are capable even of overriding physical rea ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - New Age - History The name New Age was popularized by the American mass media during the late 1980s, to describe the alternative spiritual subculture interested in such things as meditation, channelling, reincarnation, crystals, psychic experience, holistic health, environmentalism, and various “unsolved mysteries” such as UFOs, Earth mysteries and Crop circles. Typical activities of this subculture include participation in study or meditation groups, attendance at lectures and fairs; the purchase of books, music, and other products such as crystals or incense; patronage of fortune-tellers ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Etymology The English word sin derives from Old English synn. The same root appears in several other Germanic languages, e.g. Old Norse synd, or German Sünde. The word may derive, ultimately, from *es-, one of the Indo-European roots that meant "to be," and is a present participle, "being." Latin, also has an old present participle of esse in the word sons, sont-, which came to mean "guilty" in Latin. The root meaning would appear to be, "it is true;" that is, "the charge has been proven." The G ...

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia II - Sin - Jewish views of sin Judaism regards the violation of divine commandments to be a sin. Judaism uses this term to include violations of Jewish law that are not necessarily a lapse in morality. Judaism holds that all people sin at various points in their lives, and hold that God tempers justice with mercy.
The generic Hebrew word for any kind of sin is aveira. Based on verses in the Hebrew Bible, Judaism describes three levels of sin.

| | | | | Karma: Encyclopedia - Devil The Devil is the name given to a supernatural entity, who, in most Western religions, is the central embodiment of evil. This entity is commonly referred to by a variety of other names, including Satan, Asmodai, Beelzebub, Lucifer and/or Mephistopheles. In classic demonology, however, each of these alternate names refers to a specific supernatural entity, and there is significant disagreement as to whether any of these specific entities is actually evil. The English word devil, from the Middle English devel, from Old Eng ...

Dharma - The teachings of the Buddha.
For practicing Buddhists, references to "dharma" or dhamma in the singular, particularly as "the" Dharma, is used to mean the teachings of the Buddha, and is sometimes referred to as the Buddha-Dharma. Dharma is the universal law of nature and to call it Buddha-Dhamma suggests that other kinds of Dharma may exist. But this is not so, there is only one Dharma. The term Buddha-Dharma merely refers to the fact that it was discove ...
