		<description><![CDATA[What significance is November 11,2011 or 11-11-11 to you? Is it any special?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dates such as 11/11/11 have been occurring more often since the beginning of the new millennium and for some strange reason have got amazing hypes. Such are continuously becoming popular in movies, stories and so on made on it.</p>
<p>Some portray such dates as the end of the world or occurrence of mysteries either physically or spiritually. According to a survey by a news paper, more and more parents are eagerly expecting and desire to have their children on such dates not excluding 11th November,2011.</p>
<p>Several questions seeking to unravel any &lsquo;mystery&rsquo; behind such dates results in lots of views and speculations. The November 11/11 or 11th November in the binary numeral system interestingly holds some special significance worth noting.</p>
<p>The number 11 in basic mathematics is the 6th prime number and multiplied by itself, would give one a palindrome. That is, when multiplied by itself would give numbers that reads forward the same as it reads backwards.</p>
<p>For 2 digits: 11&times;11=121</p>
<p>For 6 digits: 111111&times;111111= 12345654321</p>
<p>For 9 digits: 111111111&times;111111111= 12345678987654321</p>
<p>Maybe this could generate more controversies and at the same time be a ground for some people stating their point on how mysterious the day is.</p>
<p>However, in the secular, 11-11 is a holiday in some countries. Some very memorable events and ceremonies are recorded to have occurred on this day. &nbsp;</p>
<p>11th November 2011 or 11-11-11.</p>
<p>What do you think the day has? An ordinary day? Or some hidden mysteries?</p>
<p>Share your thoughts and views.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/11/08/karmapeace_1.gif" alt="" width="260" height="260" /></p>
<p><strong>1) The Great Law-&nbsp;</strong>As you sow, so shall you reap. This is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect. Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us. If what we want is happiness, peace, friendship, love&hellip;Then we should BE happy, peaceful, loving, a friend. Negative energy sent out to others will come back to you 10 fold<br /><strong>2) The Law of Creation-</strong>&nbsp;Life doesn&rsquo;t just HAPPEN, it requires our participation. We are one with the Universe both inside and out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state. BE and DO yourself what you want to have in your life.<br /><strong>3) The Law of Humility-</strong>What you refuse to accept, will continue for you. If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.<br /><strong>4) The law of Growth-</strong>&nbsp;Wherever you go, there you are. For us to GROW in Spirit it is WE who must change and not the people, places or things around us. The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES, and that is the only factor we have control over. When we change who and what we are within our heart, our life changes too.<br /><strong>5) The Law of responsibility-&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>Whenever there is something wrong, there is something wrong in me. We mirror what surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors us: we must take responsibility for what is in our life.<br /><strong>6) The Law of Connection-</strong>&nbsp;Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads to the next step and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance-they were both needed to accomplish the task. Past, Present, Future&hellip;they are all connected&hellip;<br /><strong>7) The Law of Focus-&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>You can&rsquo;t think of two things at the same time. You should climb up a ladder one step at a time. When you lose your focus you let in insecurities and anger.<br /><strong> <img src='http://socyberty.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> The law of Giving and Hospitality-</strong> If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that truth. Here is where we put what we SAY that we have learned into PRACTICE.<br /><strong>9) The Law of Here and Now- </strong>Looking back to examine what was prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW. Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams&hellip;Prevent us from having new ones.<br /><strong>10) The Law of Change</strong>-&nbsp;History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.<br /><strong>11) The Law of Patience and Reward-&nbsp;</strong>All Rewards require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil. True joy follows doing what we&rsquo;re suppose to be doing, and waiting for the reward to come in it&rsquo;s own time.<br /><strong>12) The Law of Significance and Inspiration-</strong>&nbsp;You get back from something whatever you&#8217;ve put into it. The value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it. Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole. Lack luster contributions have no impact on the Whole or work to diminish it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[One of man's basic need is to be loved and accepted.   But because of our sinful nature, we tend to look for it from wrong places and persons.  David in Psalm eight reveals our true worth.  Know it today.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. &nbsp;2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. &nbsp;6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. &nbsp;9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!&nbsp; (Psalm <img src='http://socyberty.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </i></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Psalm 8 is a very special psalm because it tells us about the amazing love of God to you and me.&nbsp; In fact it reveals to us who we really are &ndash; our true significance.&nbsp; Now, this psalm is a celebration of the <strong><u>WHO OUR GOD IS</u> </strong>and at the same time a celebration of <strong><u>WHO WE ARE</u></strong> as human beings.&nbsp; This psalm can be divided into two major parts&hellip;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;A.&nbsp; DAVID <u>EXALTS</u> THE LORD&rsquo;S <u>MAJESTY</u> &amp; <u>GLORY</u> IN CREATION.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>David, clearly in this psalm like what he wrote in his other psalms, reveals to us who the Lord is. According to David, He is the Creator of the universe and everything in it.&nbsp; David knew in his heart that the Lord God is the Lord God Almighty.&nbsp; David used two descriptions or characteristics of the Lord in verses 1-3&hellip;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Dr. Robert Culver relates a story about the famed mathematician, scientist, and philosopher, Sir Isaac Newton who is a firm believer of the Lord Jesus Christ.&nbsp; One day there came a friend who is an unbeliever and visited his office.&nbsp; In his office, the scientist had just created a miniature model of the solar system, complete with all the planets made of sphere balls and revolving around the Sun.&nbsp; Using rods and cogwheels, and belts they all moved around the center gold ball which represented the sun and in exact precision.&nbsp; Now, when this friend saw the model of the solar system, he asked Newton, &ldquo;Who made this exquisite thing!? This model solar system?&nbsp; And Newton answered, &rdquo;Nobody.&rdquo;&nbsp; Friend, &ldquo;Nobody?&rdquo; Newton, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s right! Nobody. All of these balls and cogs and belts and gears just happened to come together, and wonder of wonders, by chance they began revolving in their set orbits with perfect timing!&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course the friend understood the unexpressed argument.&nbsp; &ldquo;In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth&hellip;&rdquo; (Gen. 1:1)</p>
<p><strong><i>1)&nbsp; The Lord is <u>majestic</u>!</i></strong>&nbsp; David, like Newton&rsquo;s friend was amazed at God&rsquo;s creative power and exalts the Name of the Lord and gives praise to His Name.&nbsp; He declares that the Lord&rsquo;s Name is MAJESTIC!&nbsp; To be &ldquo;majestic&rdquo; is to be &ldquo;impressive,&rdquo; to be &ldquo;regal and &ldquo;royal&rdquo; or &ldquo;grand&rdquo; or &ldquo;magnificent.&rdquo;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><i>2)&nbsp; The Lord is <u>glorious</u>!</i></strong>&nbsp; But David did not only proclaim that the Lord is majestic, He is also glorious! To be &ldquo;glorious&rdquo; is to be &ldquo;exceptionally lovely&rdquo; to be &ldquo;outstanding&rdquo;&nbsp; To be &ldquo;glorious&rdquo; is to be &ldquo;so good that you merit praise and everlasting fame.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; David understood from the things created by the Lord; that is, the stars, the moon, the sky, etc. that the Lord is indeed majestic and glorious!&nbsp; He is so powerful that He deserves our utmost praise and worship.&nbsp; But there is a second important thing that David discovered that made him wonder and be amazed at God &ndash; His special treatment of human beings!</p>
<p><strong>B.&nbsp; DAVID <u>EXPRESSES</u> <u>WONDER</u> OVER GOD&rsquo;S <u>SPECIAL CARE</u> </strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FOR MAN.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; David realizes that among all those things that the Lord created MAN WAS VERY SPECIAL!&nbsp; In fact, David noted that the Lord had taken special care and treatment for Man among His vast and glorious creation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Siya po and pinaka-sukdulan o pinakamataas na uri na nilikha ng Diyos.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><i>1)&nbsp; The Lord made Man the <u>CROWNING</u> <u>GLORY</u> of His creation.</i></strong>&nbsp; David recognizes that man was the very <strong><i><u>highlight</u></i></strong> of God&rsquo;s creation and we know that he could only have learned of this through the Book of Genesis. Consider what Gen. 1-2 teaches us about Adam:</p>
<p><strong><i>26</i></strong><strong><i> Then God said, &#8220;Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp; 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, &#8220;Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Gen. 1: 26-28)</i></strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;(1) He (Man) was made in the <i><u>image of God</u></i> and possessed the highest kind of life. &nbsp;</strong><i><u>Plants have unconscious life.&nbsp; Animals have conscious life but man alone possessed self-conscious life</u></i><i>.</i>&nbsp; &nbsp;This means that from all God&rsquo;s creation, only man alone could eat at Eden&rsquo;s delicious food but would first glance to heaven and thank God for the food.&nbsp; No plant or animal has done that (except the Christian lion).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, consider this also. &nbsp;It has been estimated by science that the most brilliant genius uses only one tenth of one percent of his total potential brain ability.&nbsp; This means that Adam was at least one thousand times more to today&rsquo;s intellectuals.&nbsp; We are probably 95 % blind to the total color scheme displayed by nature and 98% deaf to nature&rsquo;s many sound patterns. &nbsp;But Adam&rsquo;s five senses were tuned to absolute perfection.&nbsp; He may even possessed Extra Sensory Perception. He perfectly understood both himself and his environment (Like Avatar).&nbsp; He apparently was able to communicate with animals (Gen. 3:1-2) and perhaps nature also! (before the Fall!)</p>
<p>Now, the following article came out of a 1977&rsquo;s issue of Readers Digest entitled &ldquo;Six Million Dollar original&rdquo;:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yale University biophysicist Harold J. Morowitz says that the human body is actually worth (in 1977) $6 Million.&nbsp; And that price covers only the raw materials-hormones, proteins, enzymes, etc. The intricate work of fashioning the material into human cells might costs six thousand trillion dollars.&nbsp; And assembling these cells into a functional human being would drain all the world&rsquo;s treasures.&nbsp; &ldquo;Each human being is &lsquo;priceless&rsquo; is the professor&rsquo;s understatement.&rdquo; (p. 144).&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><i>2)&nbsp; The Lord made Man the <u>RULER</u> of His creation. </i></strong>&nbsp;David also noted that Man was destined to be RULER.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From Gen. 1:26ffg., it is clear that Man was declared King of creation and commanded to subdue the earth, to name animals, and to care for the Lord&rsquo;s beautiful creation including Eden.&nbsp; <strong><i>It is nice to <u>STOP</u> here but the story goes</i></strong>.&nbsp; The Lord also gave Adam a wife and then given a command and serious warning concerning a tree in the Garden of Eden where the Lord placed them.&nbsp;&nbsp; And Gen. 3 tells us of the sad and unfortunate event in human history &ndash; Adam and Eve sinned against the Lord.&nbsp; They disobeyed the Lord&rsquo;s command and in stead listen to the serpent&rsquo;s words (lies) and eat of the forbidden fruit and the rest is history.&nbsp; Now, here is another reason for David&rsquo;s wonder ad he surveys the Lord&rsquo;s creation especially human beings like himself.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The astonishing condescension of God to be mindful of puny man by planning to restore back (saved) man to Himself through the gracious coming of the Son of God, the Messiah as prophesied (seen) by David himself.&nbsp; </strong>&nbsp;As David saw in his spirit what the Father would do just to restore and redeem His people from their sins, he could not help but wonder at God&rsquo;s amazing grace and love.&nbsp;&nbsp; Indeed, you and I are so precious and loved and so significant before God that He gave Jesus to us.&nbsp; As that old hymnal says, &ldquo;Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!&rdquo;&nbsp; Praise the Lord!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<i>Our true <strong><u>significance</u></strong> as a person lies not in the things that we have <u>p<strong>ossessed</strong></u> or <strong><u>acquired</u></strong> or <strong><u>built</u> </strong>in this world.</i> <i>Nor in the <strong><u>relationships</u></strong> that we have made.&nbsp; Nor in the <strong><u>honors</u></strong> or <strong><u>titles</u></strong> that we have earned. Nor in the <strong><u>good name</u> </strong>or <strong><u>legacy</u></strong> that we will leave to our family.&nbsp; Our true <strong><u>significance</u></strong> is in the fact that God through our Lord Jesus had <strong><u>taken notice</u></strong> of us and had <strong><u>intervened</u></strong> in our life. Like David, the Lord <strong><u>opened</u></strong> our eyes to <strong><u>understand</u></strong> the Gospel and to <u>know</u> Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, our Savior and Lord. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!&nbsp; <strong>God Bless!&nbsp; </strong></i></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Never, in the history of politics and diplomacy has there been an occasion when the leader of another country is forced to succumb to a proposition of peace that is not attainable, regardless of the circumstances.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Commentary.</p>
<p>In support of another commentary on the subject of Middle East peace, at the expense of Israel&#8217;s existence,&nbsp; published in one of America&#8217;s reputable journals, I take the opportunity, without mincing words, that our current president&#8217;s attitude toward the State of Israel is so deplorably unparalleled, that I find it thoroughly&nbsp;abnormal, to say the least.&nbsp; The question is: why is the current president of the United States&nbsp; pursuing a policy that seems to tilt in favor of Palestinians that would like nothing better than destroying the State of Israel, regardless of how many concessions&nbsp;it had made, all of which&nbsp;bear no significance, unless they witness&nbsp;its ultimate destruction?</p>
<p>Perhaps, our current president cares a whit about the reality of peace in the Middle East.&nbsp; His&nbsp;ego to preside over the destiny of Israel&#8217;s existence stems from the fact that his&nbsp;delusion of grandeur to consummate&nbsp;his purpose has been exposed to the ridicule of his unbalanced ideology in the realm of politics.</p>
<p>The president&#8217;s blind indifference to&nbsp;Israel&#8217;s&nbsp;claim to the whole of Jerusalem,&nbsp;and its right to&nbsp;build new homes for its citizens, is&nbsp;so biased that it&nbsp;borders on a sort of suppressed&nbsp;antisemitism that none of his predecessors had exhibited, in the light of the political reality that he&nbsp;is deliberately ignoring. &nbsp;Does he think that by&nbsp;conceding&nbsp;more land to the Palestinians, that he would be instrumental in bringing about peace in that region?&nbsp;&nbsp; If so, he should turn the pages of history and refer to the chapters that are fraught with rejections, hostilities and mindless decisions by Palestinians whose intentions he&nbsp;should know far&nbsp;too well to deliberately ignore.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An analysis on the significance of Trotsky's role in the Bolshevik's victory of the Russian civil war.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><strong><u>How significant was Trotsky&rsquo;s contribution to the Bolshevik&rsquo;s victory in the Civil War?</u></strong></p>
<p><strong><u><br /></u></strong></p>
<p>After the Russian Civil War broke out in January 1918, when the Constituent Assembly was violently dissolved by the Bolsheviks, Trotsky as the People&#8217;s Commissar of War reorganised the Bolsheviks&rsquo; Red Guard into the Red Army in order to defend the area loyal to the Bolsheviks from the Whites, intent on forcefully removing them from power.</p>
<p>Trusted into the position of People&rsquo;s Commissar of War by Lenin, Trotsky had great managerial and organization skills that were necessary in order to make the Red Army effective enough to win the war for the Bolsheviks. As well as this Trotsky was a huge inspiration to the troops throughout the war, travelling by armoured train to the front lines to inspect and talk to the troops personally inevitably encouraging their loyalty and effectiveness and preventing desertion.</p>
<p>In June 1918 it became apparent that an army made up of industrial workers would be far too small to fight off the joint forces of the white armies and so Trotsky instituted conscription of the rural peasantry into the Red Army. In order to make up for the lack of experienced officers Trotsky hired or forced, through blackmail or the hostage of their families, many Ex-Tsarist officers into the Red Army to utilise their military expertise. As a precaution Political Commissars (Bolsheviks) were appointed to each unit of the army to maintain morale and to ensure the Loyalty of the Ex-Tsarist officers.</p>
<p>Several times throughout the Civil War Trotsky reformed the Red Army to ensure it maintained its organisation and effectiveness. Increasingly harsh measures were also instituted to prevent unauthorised withdrawals, desertion and mutinies. The Cheka were used to follow the Red Army and conduct the executions of soldiers and officers who deserted or retreated from battle.</p>
<p>In October 1919 General Yudenich of the whites had reached the outskirts of Petrograd, when it was suggested by Lenin that Trotsky withdraw from Petrograd in order to defend Moscow, Trotsky disagreed. He proceeded to take personal control over the stationing of troops and the organisation of the defence of the city in order to protect it from Yudenich&rsquo;s army, who as a result retreated to Estonia at the notice that Trotsky had been successful in gathering enough troops to outnumber him, 3 to 1.</p>
<p>In conclusion I think that Trotsky&rsquo;s contribution to the Bolshevik&rsquo;s victory in the Civil War was enormous because of the crucial role he played in the setting up and establishing of the highly effective Red Army in order to defeat the armies of the white forces intent on removing the Bolsheviks from power. There are many other contributing factors for the Bolshevik&rsquo;s success in winning the war, such as the presence of the railway network and industry in the cities, but arguably without Trotsky&rsquo;s military contribution the Bolsheviks would not have had an army efficient and effective enough for a defence against the white armies.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the population on this planet is somehow affected by Christmas celebrations. The commercial aspect of Christmas, as well as exoteric religious aspects hide a hidden message of Christmas, which is more relevant than ever nowadays.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People all over the world, even non-Christians celebrate Christmas. Giving gifts, overeating good food and spending time together with loved ones, is what people do at Christmas. Of course, many people go to Church and observe the religious aspects of Christmas also.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/12/29/santa_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>The commercial aspect of Christmas is so overwhelming that often the deeper meaning of Christmas seems lost. Is Christmas a socio-cultural event or does it have a religious or spiritual message? The buying and selling of Christmasware all over the world drives economies, produces jobs for millions of people in places like China and Vietnam, where there are few practising Christians. Most of the Christmasware consumed all over the planet is made in China, where 25th December is not even a holiday.</p>
<p>There is an astonishing variety of Christmas customs from Australia to Norway, from Tahiti to Canada. Yet globalization has standardized commercial Christmas products. Cheap Made in China Christmasware has flooded the markets everywhere. </p>
<p>Christmas is a major annual festival affecting the lives of about 3-5 billion people all over the globe. It is a holiday in many countries of the world, excepting a few like China, Iran, Japan, North Korea and Afghanistan. Even in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 25th December is a national holiday (officially to celebrate the birthday of Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan). Christmas is actually forbidden in North Korea. In the UK, Christmas was abolished from 1647 to 1660. In the USA, the Puritans made Christmas illegal in Boston from 1659 to 1681. In Russia, Christmas was also banned <a href="http://www.travelcentre.com.au/travel/russia/russian_christmas.htm" target="_blank">from 1917 to 1992</a>.</p>
<h3>Christians Who Do Not Celebrate Christmas</h3>
<p>Christmas is said to have originated from the pagan Roman Saturnalia feast. Christmas means entirely different things to different Christian faiths. The Jehovah&rsquo;s Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas at all. The <a href="http://eom.byu.edu/index.php/April_6" target="_blank">Mormons </a>celebrate Christmas though they believe that the actual birthday of Jesus was <a href="http://gospelcougar.blogspot.com/2008/06/was-jesus-born-on-april-6.html" target="_blank">April 6th</a>. </p>
<p>Instead of feasting, the <a href="http://www.theamishquilt.com/" target="_blank">Amish people</a> in the USA actually fast, meditate and pray during Christmas day. </p>
<p>In Israel, a Jewish state, where Christmas is not a holiday, over 350 000 Jews belonging to <a href="http://www.messianic.com/articles/basics.htm" target="_blank">Messianic Judaism</a> celebrate Christmas as the birthday of their Messiah. The Russians celebrate Christmas according to the old Julian calendar, on 7th January.</p>
<h3>Two Aspects of Every Religion</h3>
<p>Every religion has two aspects: an exoteric aspect, which focuses on traditions, observance of rituals, social structures and communal activities etc. The second aspect of every religion is esoteric. This is the hidden message, the deeper significance and attempts to answer existential questions. </p>
<p>In all Christian traditions Jesus spoke of love and spiritual life as being more important than money, power, recognition. An opening of the heart or a spiritual awakening is shown as the way of becoming a happier, better person and reaching heaven. Jesus&rsquo;s actions support this choice by showing a joyful and willing participation in the sorrows of the world. Going to the cross voluntarily, liked a bridegroom going to the bride shows an acceptance of life without judgement, lived by higher principles of love, honesty and truth. </p>
<p>So, the hidden message of Christmas is really is about a spiritual birth in each person rather than a historical birth a long time ago. </p>
<p>Is spiritual birth different from biological birth?</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/12/29/hiddenmeaningofchristmas_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Photo credit: <a href="http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?display=216256&amp;" target="_blank">Ajay Kumar Singh</a></p>
<p>As far as we know, no one remembers asking to be born. Spiritual birth, however, requires a wilful commitment, a desire to grow beyond one&rsquo;s tiny ego. When this spiritual birth happens, strict external observance of rituals becomes secondary and the esoteric aspect of the spiritual path takes on a new meaning. The darkest day of the winter solstice is over and we move towards the light of redemption and atonement (at-one-ment). </p>
<p>In fact, this is the common ground of all religions. A person who experiences a spiritual birth becomes more than just a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew, a Buddhist, a Sikh or a Mormon.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The importance of probability and statistics in our every day life.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reality would tell how powerful modern technology is at recent era of industrialization. These technological achievements have broadened and explored the welfare of humanities before. It greatly affects today&#8217;s livelihood, projecting its maximum impact in the near prospect. We are likely becoming dependents as baby is, for we used to seek changes. A remedy that will make our work easier and faster!</p>
<p>Probability and Statistics are ordinary subjects, for these were introduced both in Secondary and Tertiary levels. In addition, some of which are discussed in Elementary level. But, how come that these subjects greatly affect the field of engineering? What are the verifications and manifestations that future technologies maybe related to computer engineering courses like Probability and Statistics?</p>
<p>Professionals have documented that computer engineers understand both software and hardware. But, they emphasized more on computer hardware. In other words, a computer engineer is deemed to build and to design computers. This fact justifies the worth of the courses &#8211; &#8220;Probability and Statistics&#8221;.  It makes such courses advantageous to engineering students.</p>
<p>At first, an engineering student will be able to apply the knowledge of analyzing certain events or circumstances based on the theorems and concepts discussed on the aforesaid courses. In addition, reasoning and intuition will be polished and will be utilized especially in midst of critical conditions such as dilemmas, failures and defeats.  Moreover, methods and step-by- step process shall take into consideration for effectiveness of decision-making and case analysis. This is for the purpose of overcoming different obstacles in one&#8217;s journey to success.</p>
<p>Next, after becoming a certified computer engineer, he may employ the notion of Statistics with regards to &#8220;Quality and Quantity&#8221; concept. This is to sustain an amateur&#8217;s weakness, being in need of experience. That, although he maybe a fresh graduate, still he is capable and familiar of the job, for he knows its basis and foundation.</p>
<p>Thirdly, a professional computer engineer will still need to exploit the basic concepts of the courses offered in College. This is now in line with the company&#8217;s main objective &#8211; &#8220;to lasts for a long period of time&#8221;. In due course, he is competent to interpret and to understand problems occurring and recurring in the company. The SPC Tools allow him to provide necessary adjustments and improvements. Thus, deepens his veiled scarcity.</p>
<p>Finally, the youth and the old, the mass and the society, the nation and the world, they are forced to use the prime concepts and principles of Probability and Statistics. The probability of individual success, the quality our colleagues seizes, and the quantity of people seizing golden hearts in establishing harmony and collaboration in the world.</p>
<p>Most importantly, the courses Probability and Statistics are useful and present not only in the field of engineering, but in each aspect an individual chooses. People might not notice its importance, but it exists and matures in things we do. It is an everlasting cycle that surrounds each individual&#8217;s phase of life, in an endeavor of awareness on this ecstasy of mystery and inexplicable circumstances called WORLD.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever, I would have asked, does so I'm in this life? What is the meaning of my life? certainly a question that many great men of humanity were made.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many in more than one occasion we have asked, does so I&#8217;m in this world, &#8220;What is the meaning of my life,&#8221; What role I play or simply develop what is my mission?. Ask which often do not find answers, or at least any that fill our curiosity or calm our concerns.</p>
<p>Many great philosophers and thinkers also be made at some stage of her life and managed to highlight, however it seems that for ordinary people, the absence of an adequate response, however many times the answer is in front of us and not we realize this . The answer is simple: my mission is to be happy, but although everyone is aware of this, we do not care about achieving it, looking for any wire or some black magic spell that never find.</p>
<p>And although it seems at first glance that our life is a routine: born, grow, grow, reproduce and die, yet we have failed to see a little beyond. Fills us with stress, unfounded fears and ended up doing real storms in a simple glass of water.</p>
<p>In the past I have touched alluding topics, especially talking about transcendence, but this seems more focused on a topic that earthly spiritual, many believe that all living life as martyrs will attain a better life in the beyond, filled with such and happiness, therefore we ended up believing that happiness lies only in another life. In no way am I saying that everything they taught us in matters of religion is wrong, or what I&#8217;m questioning, all religions talk about a better life in another world, a paradise but also talk that man was made in the image and likeness of our creator, religion teaches us that our body is a shrine, that at the end of the day and as already mentioned, absolutely everything in the universe is energy, which destroys not only transforms ; Hence we are energy dwelling on a finite body, a body that has the beginning and end, you need to transmute to achieve eternity.</p>
<p>We all know that there is energy positive and negative, differ by as this makes us feel because we have no way to distinguish it but we always forget that the basics of religion, are nothing other than the magnifying glass to us taught to distinguish the good from the bad, to achieve our purpose more momentous: to be happy.</p>
<p>Probably more than any thought that there will be people who are happy doing evil, but might actually ensure that they are not; happiness is the result of our work, our dreams and our desires. Happiness is not a recipe, there is no manual for doing so; happiness is the know appreciate everything that life gives us, take our resources and capacities to do good and not evil. It is having an awareness of giving the best of efforts, to love without expecting anything in return, reach out without waiting to hear a thanks; only those who have succeeded in mastering their flaws, his ego know what I am talking about.</p>
<p>Many may think that I&#8217;m talking about becoming a Tibetan monk or a saint, but this is not the case, it is simply having the ability to appreciate even the most minimal effort, watching the world with an objective perspective and never yellow. Unfortunately man, is still dominated by their instincts, instincts that you only produce stress, fatigue and obstacles in their path. We remain more worried about how others see us, to find the meaning of my life, we care more by feel loved, for loving, that will help us to help, to seek revenge and retaliation, rather than grant forgiveness.</p>
<p>But how can I be happy if I have no eating?, Simple as we explain in advance, we are energy and our true capabilities are sleeping, all because we are more worried, tired and grouchy up, attract only negative energies, for therefore not pay in our work, attract envy and only more problems, we complain of high prices, low wages, pollution, etc..; instead of trying to give the best of whether everywhere, distinguished by respect the rules work, which I like or are not part of my job, although rules for non-personal moments that seem, as well as meet with my schedule, certainly if it did, and would have won a promotion or a salary increase; I am not angry, I reach for the expenses of my family, but every weekend, if I have money to go with friends, buy my beer. We finished devaluing our own family, we want to give us luxuries, because we believe that this is life, and many times we give priority to this, above everything else, ended up being the result of our actions. Any action brings a reaction, and in this case we can not see or find suitable alternative solution, if we do not change the way you see the world. Many are going to work after having seen the news this morning, we slept even hear the latest news of the world; news we produce anger, sadness and stress.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to learn to appreciate what we have, to recompose the step and learn to be happy, many people who today is in terminal phase, which has lost an arm, a leg, sight or who simply can not walk, is more happy I, or many of us, and the answer is simple do not care what the world says about them, and do not worry about the hurt, simply seeking to live every moment of life they have. And that I am completely, which could walking, seeing, feeling, I&#8217;m the best thing to something sick, but I do not have my days, I have a home a family, friends who really appreciate and believe me, but not for what they or because I am the most inviting of the colony, but by what I am, a person who knows how to assess, which attracts the positive side, if that falls on the road, is not regrettable, but stands by his fall was an experience Life, an experience that motivates us to fight.</p>
<p>Never forget that: we can not change the world, but if our immediate environment and ourselves, the way we see and deal with life every day. Nobody will solve our problems, only us who are only interested we can shape our lives and give the true sense that we want. said a very popular &#8220;faith moves mountains&#8221; but could only move the mountain of my life when achievements give a true sense.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Renaissance was a period of time between 1300 and 1600. There were many technological advances in map making, exploration, and many other areas. Other improvements include painting and trade.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the Renaissance religion was spread and new lands were discovered. The Renaissance is very significant, as it has changed how we think and work. The Renaissance was caused by several factors including the re-discovery of Ancient Greek and Roman scrolls and the urge to understand the world.</p>
<p>The Renaissance happened during the 14th and 17th Century. During this period there were great advances in understanding and in technology. The Renaissance was when the Ancient Greek and Roman ideas were re discovered and used again in the West. These influences can be seen in architecture, science, heritage and education from that time. The Renaissance was also the time when the new world (America) was discovered and its land conquered by the Spanish and Portuguese. It was also a period of time when Europeans became richer and more powerful because of trade, with the new world.</p>
<p>During the Renaissance map making became very important because of the need to travel long distances to trade with the Chinese in silk. Another reason that improved maps were needed was because explorers like Ferdinand Magellan were sailing around the world. Traders also required better maps so they could work out the quickest routes between trading ports.</p>
<p>There were also new types of painting and architecture based on Ancient Greek and Roman Architecture and paintings. Lots of talented painters and architects showed off their skills during this period. In this period of time many buildings were built in Roman and Ancient Greek style, because people liked the building style.</p>
<p>The Renaissance happened partly because of new ideas in politics. New ideas on governing were adapted from Ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts on law. This can be seen in the way that the ordinary people were given a chance to put forward their ideas. Another reason for the Renaissance was the creation of the printing press that allowed ordinary people read more widely.</p>
<p>People changed the way that they looked at the world and its surroundings, as they wanted to learn for themselves. This lead to the change in how the universe was seen. It was believe that the earth was at the centre of the universe and all the planets went round it before the renaissance, but during the Renaissance they worked out that all plants circle the sun. People also became more interested in the natural world.</p>
<p>The significances of the Renaissance can still be seen today in technology and knowledge. Most of our ideas and theories are based on what people thought in the Renaissance. If the Renaissance had not happened then we would not be as advanced in technology and education. This is because people like Andreas Versalius looked at the earth and its surroundings and explained to people what was happening.</p>
<p>The Renaissance was a period in time when new ideas were thought up and used. There is also an advance it technology and art in this period, most of which is based on Ancient Greek and Roman ideas. The Renaissance was caused by people looking at the world in a new way and also the re discovery of Ancient Greek and Roman scrolls in Western Europe. The Renaissance is very significant in the way that is has paved the way for map making, education and hundreds of other things that we use these days.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It's all about the significance or importance of education in every individuals in the world. With this, we're trying to encourage the people as well as the readers to value education.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most treasured thing and factor of every individual&#8217;s life is that &ldquo;Education&rdquo;. It is the most valuable thing in our life. Everyone should take this for us to be able to be informed, to be literate, to be wise, to be educated rather. Our universal language is English. Some says that wherever you will go, wherever you are, and you have the education, you know how to speak English, you can survive, you can live and move freely whatever country you will be. Education can be the most powerful factor in life. What is life without Education?</p>
<p>If you have the Education, you can live and move freely. We should take and have this Education. Oftentimes, Education used as a basis in judging a person. They will take a look on his educational background, see to it what kind of a person he is. Education used as an instrument in getting or finding a job of most of the people. Without this, difficulties in finding a job may occur. There are several numbers of unemployed individuals mostly in poor countries because of lack of education. On the other hand, education used as a power by other people. Example those politicians, etc. When  education and popularity exist, it may lead in abusing power for some people who wants to lead or control those ordinary people. Oftentimes, it is used in bad things, if someone will abuse it, it may lead to destruction and disorder.</p>
<p>What is life without Education? As I have said on the first paragraph, Education is one of the most treasured and valuable thing or factor in every individual&#8217;s life. Can you imagine life without Education? You will prefer not to imagine it but it may possibly be happen. Imagine life without Education, it is miserable. Look at those  poor countries, they&#8217;re still in poverty because big numbers of their population, sad to say, is illiterate or uneducated. One of the example is Africa. If you don&#8217;t have the education, you cant escape the poverty. That&#8217;s why several people wants and prefer to finish their studies, even it&#8217;s hard for them, even though they cant afford.</p>
<p>See how important  Education will be in our life. Because of this, we have to encourage the readers as well as the parents, try to send their children in school. And I think lacking of discipline in every people is due to lack of Education.</p>
