The origin of the Gods and of the Universe according to the Eleusinian Mysteries

Nicola Bizzi

Sinossi

The knowledge of the divine genealogy, that is the birth and evolution of those subtle forces which at the same time are the builders and organizers of the Universe, of those forces that mankind has always called the Gods, the creators of physicality and nonphysicality, all this has always represented for the Eleusinians the very basis of the initiatory Knowledge and their erudition.The Eleusinian religion, unlike many others before the Christian era, was a purely “eschatological” cult, that is not based – as Mircea Eliade has claimed – on a cyclical time and on the endless repetition of events, but on the two cardinal principles of Arké and the Eskaton, the Origin and the End. Basically, it was founded on the concept of a sacred time regulated by the Horizon of Events, which, starting from the creation, leads to an end of time regulated by a prophecy and a final regeneration. Therefore, one can well understand the attention that the Eleusinian Mystery Schools have always given to the connection between divine genealogy and the path of man on Earth.These schools have transmitted to us a diagram of creation that is unique and very different from all the others which derive from classical antiquity and the ancient Near East. Unique and distinct precisely because it is “eschatologycal”, that is incorporated in time, both in the divine and in the human time.

BLACK WOMEN SHOULD BE LOVED…NOT...

Raymond Sturgis

Marriage, relationships, and interpersonal relationships have changed for black women, and it is apparent that many of them are becoming victims of domestic violence than ever before. Police stations and court dockets are replete with black men and women who have violently disagreed and have to undergo therapy to mend their violent misunderstandings. The main tragedy is that many back women and young girls are dying because of domestic violence. Young black girls who have not tasted the beautiful air of progress and success in life are dying as young black boys release their rage upon them without remorse. Why are there so many women being victims of violence in their communities? Some would say that black women themselves are responsible for the majority of the cases that leave them victims of violence. And if this is true, what has become of the black families that raise these young beautiful black women? In addition, this book expounds on real issues that carefully look at black women as victims of domestic violence and black women who are perpetrators of domestic violence.

The Relevance of Buddhism in the...

Princess Poon Pismai Diskul

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 43 by Princess Poon Pismai Diskul, The Relevance of Buddhism in the Modern World narrated by Gregory M. Dams. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 2. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 43 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
 
Excerpt:
 
Throughout history, the practice, adherence and belief in religion has been a virtually universal aspect of human society. And as a rule, the increase in complexity and sophistication of a given culture has borne with it an accompanying increase in the level of ethical and philosophical development of that society’s religious thought.
 
Today, however, the world witnesses a level of civilization and social complexity far surpassing that of any previous era. Yet out of the great thoughts and discoveries of our time, no new major religion has evolved. Whatever new religious concepts may have appeared, they have failed to reach the masses of humanity in the form of altering basic beliefs and practices. Most of the new reforms that modern institutions sometimes announce with pride are actually negative in character; that is, the termination of outmoded practices and the relinquishment or reinterpretation of embarrassing dogmas. ...

Society: The Basics - A Simple...

Fred Grandsen

Sociology is the systematic study of society, human behavior, and social interactions. It explores how individuals relate to one another and how social structures, such as institutions, norms, and values, shape these interactions. The origins of sociology can be traced back to the early 19th century when scholars began to analyze the effects of rapid social changes brought about by industrialization, urbanization, and political revolutions. Auguste Comte, a French philosopher, is often credited with founding sociology and introducing the idea that societies evolve through distinct stages of development, which he described as the theological, metaphysical, and scientific stages. Comte emphasized the importance of using scientific methods to study society, laying the groundwork for the discipline's emergence as a formal field of study.
Sociology seeks to understand the underlying patterns and structures that govern social life. It examines topics such as social roles, institutions, class structures, race, gender, and family dynamics. Sociologists use various methods to study society, including surveys, interviews, participant observation, and statistical analysis. These methods allow them to identify trends, uncover social inequalities, and explain how social change occurs. For example, Emile Durkheim, one of the early pioneers of sociology, studied the causes of suicide and concluded that social integration and regulation significantly influence individuals' behavior. His work demonstrated that even personal actions have social underpinnings, highlighting the importance of understanding the broader social context.
