Espousing the notion that some ideas have lasted over centuries and are as relevant today as when they were first conceived, perennialism urges that these ideas should be the focus of education. According to perennialists, when students are immersed in the study of those profound and enduring ideas, they will appreciate learning for its own sake and become true intellectuals. while essentialism reflects the traditional ... view that the "real" world is the physical world we experience with our senses, perennialism is more open to the notion that universal spiritual forms--such as those posited by Plato or by theological philosophers--are equally real. Perennialists regard essentialism, and its view that knowledge stems primarily from the empirical findings of scientists, as undermining the importance of our capacity to reason as individuals; that is, to think deeply, analyticallv, flexibly, and imaginatively. 30122004 Definitions of Soteriology on the Web: The study of the doctrine of salvation.

These tears, in jealous rage at having to share the universe with their creator, induce him to "find a higher place for him on my brow," giving it authority to rule over all creation, becoming the third eye, the eye in the pyramid, the Eye of Horus, the Wedjat, the "apple of my eye," and the Apollonian Eye. from "Primal Myths: Creating the World," by Barbara C. Sproul. Kephera represents the power of self-transformation; the ability to transmute ones self beyond the limits of societal programming.

We consciously observe the solstices, equinoxes and the points in between, as well as the phases of the moon. Such „rites of intensification‰ are human universals, as are the various ceremonies known as „rites of passage‰ ˜ celebrations of birth, puberty, personal dedication to a given deity or group, marriage, ordination, death, etc. Together these various sorts of observations help us to find ourselves in space and time. http://www.neopagan.net/NeopagansBelieve.html 03-02-2005: Science is concerned with process, e.g., the repeatable experiment; religion is concerned with event, the sudden encounter with the God who is not contained by nature. http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=414&whichpage=6 --- Fellaheen : Oswald Spengler in his book `The Decline of the West' (1922) set out the view that civilisations existed in life cycles, within which distinctions can be made between peoples before, within, and after a Culture.

In the third millennium BC horses came to be in use in the area. Wheeled carts became in vogue in the north of the Black sea in the middle of third millennium. The burial mounds, called Kurgans, spread through the steppe between 2500 BC and 1500 BC, and around 2000 BC the Bronze age began to flourish there. Srubnaya and Andronovo cultures descended from this Yamnaya culture: They spoke Indo-European languages. It is believed that the Scythians originated from the Srubnaya and Andronovo cultures. The Scythians formed several secondary groups in the East like the Sacians (Sacae) and Messagetes. WESTWARD MOVEMENT Massagetes (Sacae) lived to the north of the Oxus. When the forerunners of the Huns, The Hsiung-Nu tribe was dislodged from their territory in the western China,they pushed Messagetes westward. It caused a chain reaction, causing successive displacement of different nomadic tribes towards the west. Massagetes pushed the Scythians, who, in turn, displaced the Cimmerians from the northern shores of the Black Sea. The Aryans from the Pontic steppe of Russia entered the Aegean coasts as Acheans and Phrygians, and while pursuing the Cimmerians crossed over the Caucasus and came to the present-day Azerbaidzhan, and founded their capital at Sakiz, south of lake Urmia in the present day Kordestan. Later they became allies of the neighboring Assyrian empire. The Medes managed to evict these Scythians from their territories, and pushed them back to Urartu in Amazones from where they had entered Persia. Then the Sarmatians - a tribe of very similar origin as the Scythians, but whose maidens rode, hunted and joined in wars with their men - pushed the Scythians from their eastern enclaves. Being pushed westward the Scythians entered Hungary and Bulgaria and established outposts in the Balkans.

Who is the author? The name Anup sounds India, but REJ does not. My first comment is on the lack of understanding that the author has re the Nagas, and the mother goddess , whom we know as the DEVI or Devi Ma, personified in the Devi e.g of Vasihno Devi. Some , mostly ignorant, sensaniolis western thinkers see only the nonsense of Snake worship, or demonism, and depict indian dieties in a degradory manner, so as to contrats with their religious beliefs. "Shiva/Rudra are destroyers, wild, or drunk, like Dionysus". Shiva actually represents the formless creative force, represented by the pillar of fire, which as Agni, is the base for our " havana" ceremonies for the Fire ceremonies. The rest is argument, they were scythian, they were not, they came from Mars, they did not and so on. Ravi Kraigus Registered User Posts: 9 (8/27/03 7:12 am) Reply Re: SCYTHIANS AND SARMATIANS Hi Ravi, The oldest collection of books on the planet, though it has been passed down through generations is the 'Canon' (i may have spelt this wrong) of the Jews. The 'Canon', or better known as the 'old testament' in the 'Bible' to this day is the most accurate set of books historically. It has never actually been proven wrong. Ancient cities have been discovered through it. Many of the miracles mentioned in it, have archeologically been found feasible. The book is believed to contain prophesy of cultures such as the 'Babylonians' and 'Medes' and 'Persians', written before the even existed (check the book of Isaiah). and the whole Jesus thing is covered in very accurate detail (he will be beaten beyond recognision, killed appearing to have lost, but through doing even the gentiles throughout the whole world will acknowledge and worship the Father in Heaven. After the annointed one has come on the earth and gone, then the Jews, who, it predicts will be spread throughout the nations, will get Israel back as their country. My point, now we understand the value of the books, historically???? In the book of Genesis, it mentions how civilisation started in the land of 'Shinar' (modern day Turkey), and all the cultures spread from there. One large group of people, was the 'sons of Joktan'. They dwelt from 'Mesha' towards 'Sephar' the great mountains of the east (possibly somewhere in the Afghanistan region). It is believed that from these people came the Iranian speaking people ( the medes, persians and the original peoples of central asia) it is believed that they were fair skinned people who possibly decorated themselves in tattoos They were related to the Chalde
