Mysterious Spirituality
Being human has three distinctive components -- body, mind, and spirit -- which play specific roles, purposes and functions. The role of every individual component drives all decisions made and actions taken. These components are connected with mysterious abilities or moments existing within the universe. Based on one's reactions to them, the abilities may negatively or positively impact the body, mind, and spirit.
Premonition/Intuition
It has been stated by the Centre for Spirituality and Healing (2014) that intuition is taken to be instant sensing. Some individuals would, for instance, say that it was their "gut feeling" that something big was about to happen. In such instances, intuition experiences are body-based. One's intuition usually comes to know of the truth regarding any situation almost instantaneously, after being exposed to it. Understanding that just like every other human experience, intuition isn't external to the body, is important. This element is present within one's body, and probably stems from one's biology.
Usually, intuition is linked to transcendental experiences. The parietal lobe of one's brain is related to the feeling of mystical oneness or boundlessness that is common to all intuitive experiences. Normally, some portions of one's brain become increasingly active in the...
However, the parietal lobe responsible for one's sense of boundary falls silent when the boundlessness linked to transcendence and intuition surfaces. As one becomes sensitive to and aware of the intuitive knowledge of one's body, one will acquire a greater awareness of changing bodily conditions, and can better nurture one's well-being, monitor one's health issues, and guide personal healthcare (Center for Spirituality and Healing, 2014).
The element of intuition is capable of contributing to one's well-being and health in numerous ways, ranging from perhaps dramatically saving one's life to helping one attain greater balance in one's lifestyle. If one learns to listen and love one's body, intuition will begin serving the body, spirit, and mind (Center for Spirituality and Healing, 2014).
Dreams
It is stated by the International Association for the Study of Dreams (n.d.) that a grasp of the link between healing and dreams began in the ancient days and garnered respect for several thousand years. The interaction of the body with the brain generates dreams, which assist in diagnosing an ailment. Currently, the psychoneuroimmunology field provides the science that underlies the connection between the body, spirit, and mind. Dreams represent direct messages transmitted by the mind and body, which give…

These are some of the positive functions of a religion. In other ways, religion has a negative impact on the individual and society at large. Some people become obsessed with religion because they find it easier to block out opposing points-of-view than to accept plurality and uncertainty. Instead of seeking rational solutions to problems, some people turn to the irrationality of religion. A person can be spiritual without being religious,
misunderstood -- and to some, the seemingly mysterious -- subject of spirituality. Within the each person's worldview, there are always personal questions to be asked as we learn the skills needed to serve others -- and spirituality has a place within this question. This paper will examine spirituality and worldview, along with the personal views of the writer vis-a-vis the seven questions to be addressed. Thesis: each person should
Sacred Pipe Black Elk, or Hehaka Sapa, was a medicine man of the Oglala Sioux tribe. He lived during the final conflict with the native peoples, from 1863 to 1950 and was able to merge the gap between American Indian spirituality and many modern scholars of myth, including Joseph Campbell. Some European authors praised him as being one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of the Native North Americans, particularly because he
Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown (1835) and The Scarlet Letter. It is rather fascinating that the two readings have a number of similarities even though the plots of both stories are rather different. The Young Goodman Brown is all about an inexplicable and mystifying course that is occupied by witches and immoral conduct in the suburbs of a Puritan Village (Moores). Hawthorne has been able to captivate the reader
Therefore the commerce under analysis is not a mere relation of exchange, but is a relation in which two forces become actively involved. Since it is man who initiates the process then it results that man is free to act as he wishes and not determined in his actions. The fact that this process is initiated in times of hardship demonstrate the fact that will and freedom are not enough
Bless Me, Ultima Discuss the imagery that the author uses to bring the character Ultima to life. The narrator's grandmother Ultima is described as a mysterious character, a little lady with a mysterious aura far larger than her physical persona. Ultima always dresses in black and is enveloped in shawls. The herbs she uses in her work perfume the air long after she has left the room. On one hand, she appears
