Shiva (or Siva) is one of the most important gods in the Hindu pantheon and, along with Brahma and Vishnu, is considered a member of the holy trinity (trimurti) of Hinduism. A complex character, he may represent goodness, benevolence and serve as the Protector but he also has a darker side as the leader of evil spirits, ghosts and vampires and as the master of thieves, villains and beggars. He is also associated with Time, and particularly as the destroyer of all things. Nevertheless, Shiva is also associated with creation. In Hinduism, the universe is thought to regenerate in cycles (every 2,160,000,000 years). Shiva destroys the universe at the end of each cycle which then allows for a new Creation. Shiva is also the great ascetic, abstaining from all forms of indulgence and pleasure, concentrating rather on meditation as a means to find perfect happiness. He is the most important Hindu god for the Shaivism sect, the patron of Yogis and Brahmins, and also the protector of the Vedas, the sacred texts.

- There is disagreement among scholars on whether the start of Ramadan and Eid should be based on sighting the new moon or astronomical calculations.
- The strongest view is that the Prophet instructed Muslims to fast when seeing the new moon and break fast when seeing it, indicating sighting should be the basis.
- Allaah and the Prophet knew science would progress but still mandated sighting the new moon, showing this is the Islamic method regardless of scientific advancements.
- Relying on calculations goes against the consensus of scholars and weakens following what Allaah prescribed through the Prophet. Sighting is something all people can do at all times and places.

This anthology of articles by Maulana Wahiduddin
Khan is designed to illustrate the science of life
which the author has derived from one of the basic
principles of the Qur’an: “Every hardship comes
with ease.” (94:56). In his view, failure in life is a
common occurrence, but that coupled with a
positive attitude, it can be transformed into success.
Failure, on the other hand, coupled with a negative
attitude is again failure. The author gives examples
from daily life. Supported by relevant quotations
from the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad, to show that there is no end to the
possibilities of success in life for the individual who
can take a lesson from failure. He also cautions that
life’s tribulations must be faced with patience,
perseverance and compassion.
All the articles in this anthology have appeared

It is futile to reduce all mental life to functionings of the brain. This observation does not make the brain any the less mysterious, challenging, or important in our lives. It suggests only that we may find more about the brain by knowing more about how the mind penetrates it, makes the brain do what it wants, and uses it as its instrument.
The brain does not know pain while all other parts of the soma do. Doesn’t this alone say that the brain is only a relay to the knowing self—which then experiences pain?
In this book, Gattegno examines the role of the brain, the mind, and the self in various aspects of human life, and the implications these roles might have.

This introduction provides context for the third stage of meditation, which is aimed at awakening from the dream of existence. It discusses the process of perception according to the Buddha, known as the concurrence of antecedents or dependent origination, whereby successive causes and conditions give rise to perception. When the eye comes into contact with light, only color is seen, and the brain then constructs pictures out of colors and assigns them names, leading to the delusion of perceiving external objects. The third stage of meditation, involving the seven steps to awakening, will aim to bring about a paradigm shift to overcome this delusion of perception and existence through insight and experiential thinking.

If Saturn is everything that enslaves us into matter: Agriculture (priests, kings, work, government), Ego (war, money, competition), Aging (time, death) - then Uranus is the one who delivers us from this evil via Timothy Leary's SMI2LE formula.
Uranus is the divine rebel that demands true freedom. Uranus is every revolutionary and disruptive technology that breaks the bonds of Saturn.
Immortality research, genetic engineering, cryonics, defeating death - defeating Saturn - is the main focus of Uranus.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
