Be Your Own Guru: Authoritarianism And The Problem Of The Guru In Conscious Evolution, Mcauley, Charles E. Jan 2016

Be Your Own Guru: Authoritarianism And The Problem Of The Guru In Conscious Evolution, Mcauley, Charles E.

Journal of Conscious Evolution

This paper is an exploration of the problematic nature of the guru/disciple relationship, specifically, in Western Society.

Additionally, I look at the flaws in some well-known guru figures and how …

Pengamalan Solat Fardhu Di Kalangan Mahasiswa Di Tati University College (Tatiuc), Kemaman, Terengganu., Hilmi Ismail

Student Works (2010-2019)

Performing the prayer (solat) is the second commandment in Islam after uttering the syahadah. It is the bollard for all religious worship in Islam for its state as a religion mast. It acts as armour against any wrong deed towards Allah SWT. People begin to question the efficacy of prayer by Muslims due to the diminished morality witnessed nowadays. Thus, this research was conducted to observe the adaptation of prayer among the students of TATi University College, Kemaman, Terengganu. This research focuses on the intellectual group that were identified as a ‘Mukallaf’, due to the Islamic prospect that was shown …

Articles

In this qualitative study, researchers examined how college seniors experienced and resolved spiritual struggles in college. Results indicated that academic activities provided opportunities to question, learn, and grow spiritually. Although a variety of external factors influenced students' explorations of their spirituality, participants looked inward to resolve their struggles in deeply personal ways. Spiritual struggle was often manifested as a reexamination of students' pre-college values, an ongoing process for many students. Researchers identified four ways of describing students' state of resolution: (1) recommitting to an existing faith, (2) slightly readjusting their spiritual or religious values, (3) blending spiritual traditions, or (4) …

Losing Faith : The Process Of Converting To Atheism, Jennifer J. Jacobi

On The Agenda, Alisa Solomon Jan 2000

On The Agenda, Alisa Solomon

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

This newsletter goes to press just as Millennium Mania is reaching its fever pitch. If my own dismissive attitude toward the doom-sayers turns out to be warranted, our computers have not collapsed, the sky has not fallen, and our newsletter has reached your address intact. Of course there's been more to the millennial madness than apocalyptic anxieties and mega-marketing opportunities for products and services of all sorts and sizes. The obsession with Y2K— which represents only one of the world's calendar systems, after all— has also marked the way in which a particular religious view increasingly passes for the secular …
