Human death can be defined by three intrinsically different but overlapping domains: medical, religious, and legal. These different domains and their importance have evolved over time, and opinions vary from person to person. So when talking about death, it is important to specify which domain we are referring to, and to have a general understanding of how each defines death. There are various ways of defining medical death. Early in Western culture, death was first associated with cessation of the heart, and then later the lungs. Whe ...

Since writing someone's name with a range of years, such as John Doe (1950 - 2000), implies that the subject has died, it would be a faux pas to do this on someone's birthday cake or card.

The term Kardecist Spiritism is often used, especially in statistics regarding religion, to differ Spiritism proper (as established by Kardec) and other types of practices and beliefs named alike. It is a quite stable religious denomination, especially strong in Brazil.

The occured phenomenons that led to Kardec research were the famous (at the time) Fox Sisters and the phenomenon of the Spinning Tables. The hype of Mesmerism also contributed a lot to the early Spiritist practice. Spiritism - Fox Sisters. In 1847 the Fox family moved into a house in Hydesville, New York which had been previously owned by one Venckman. The Foxes had six children, but only the youngest girls, Margaret (14) and K ...

Spiritism - Spiritism as a Religion. Kardec defined his doctrine as "Religion, Science and Philosophy. It is a religion in the sense that it is concerned with the word of God; it is the science that studies spiritual phenomena and it is the moral philosophy behind all Christian denominations. He embraced all Christian ramifications like a single Religion, derived from the word of Jesus, needing a new revelation, which was made on that moment by spirits. Therefore, the rituals and the organisation are taken from whatever religion one follows, though what really matters are not the exterior ritu ...

Spiritism - Spiritism and Christianism. Christianism has been traditionally critic of Spiritism, mostly because the Mosaic Law clearly forbade the Jewish people all forms of communication with the dead (Deut. 18: 10-14). Some Christians hold that the supposed spirits of the dead are actually fallen angels, while others claim that the clear rendering of scripture teaches they are demons. Most of the Christian opposition to Spiritism is found among Evangelical Christians who believe salvation is a free gift ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are six notable figures in the Bible prior to Abraham: Adam and Eve, their two sons Cain and Abel, Enoch, and his great-grandson, Noah, who saved his own family and all animal life in Noah's Ark. It is uncertain if these people left any recorded moral code — with some Christian churches maintaining faith in ancient books like the Book of Enoch — and Genesis mentions the Noahide Laws given by God to the family of Noah. For the most part, these 'patriarchs' serve as good (or bad, in the case of Cain) role models of behavior, without a more specific indication of ...

Major critiques of the New Age have emerged from rational philosophical and scientific views that seek to understand the nature of New Age notions. These often highlight the discrepancies between New Age's seemingly irreconcilable mix of occultism and acceptance of the laws of physics. Rather more extreme views have emerged from evangelical Christians who reject all forms of occultism; from skeptics suspicious of paranormal claims and woolly beliefs in general; and from New Agers themselves. Some, including neo-pagans, who are frequently lab ...

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 ...

Death is the irreversable ending of life. Biologically, death can occur to wholes, to parts, or to both. For example, it is possible for individual cells and even organs to die, and yet for the organism as a whole to continue to live; many individual cells live for only a short time, and so most of an organism's cells are continually dying and being replaced by new ones. When organisms die most of their cells live for some time afterward. ...

There are many common themes linking the stories: Reincarnation. The book hints that the same character appears reincarnated in each of the six episodes and has some memories from other stories. In each life he/she has a comet-shaped birthmark near the shoulder. Imprisonment. Each protagonist is in some way imprisoned or enslaved and makes a bid for freedom. The question: "What should/can a pacifist do when faced with overwhelming odds?". This question is posed in each of the episodes, and the answer ...
