AKHIL SENGARPublished 2 years ago in FuturismLife after Death
Despite variations in beliefs, all major religions agree on one thing: humans are immortal, and their spirits originated in a very divine realm and should return there at some point.
Justine VroomPublished 2 years ago in FuturismBenefits of Mahashivratri
Shiva is a fascinating deity for some as he defies most of the stereotypes associated with being a God. With his dreadlocks, cobra necklace, austere way of life, and aloof demeanor, he is a complete enigma. Though he is usually shown in a calm and meditative pose, he is quick to anger and even the gods are terrified when he opens his third eye.
Deus Ex Machina: Religion in the age of Artificial Intelligence
Talking about machine learning and deep learning is one thing. Seeing their connections to the divine is something else entirely. As artificial intelligence startups and use cases flourish, it's important to take a step back and see the whole picture.

MUSLIM VEILING: HIJAB, NIQAB, HISTORY AND INTERPRETATIONS OF THE QUR'AN
In some Muslim societies women cover all or part of their face with a veil or some other covering. These veils and head coverings scarves go by different names in different places. Girls generally begin wearing them after reaching puberty. Veiling also extends to behavior. Women instinctively cover their faces with their veils or head scarves when they speak. When a man enters a room they are in they instinctively turn away or cover their faces.
The Inheritance
I had become somewhat depressed, spending a great deal of time alone, trying to control the crazy thoughts in my head. Tormenting questions trashed through my mind even outweighing the thunderous bombardment of space debris which clashed against the metal capsule I called home. These thoughts were colossal mysteries, mostly regarding my biological family and my planet of origin. Struggling day after day to assimilate a glimpse into my heritage, I had practically shredded the quart-sized zippered bag which held the entirety of my personal possessions. My family’s planet could only be seen from a ‘bird’s eye view’; a bird’s eye view multiplied by two million or so. I’m sure that distance seems like an unfathomable separation, an unconquerable divide to non-space travelers, and for me it was definitely a long distance away from my reality.

Visualization is a powerful tool for creating the blueprint for your wishes on the astral realm so that they might materialize in the actual world. The use of archetypes to imprint the matrix of creation is simpler if you are a very creative person or someone who has taken the time to acquire the talent of precise vision.

Our path intersects with different people throughout our lives, be it children, brothers, sisters, friends, spouses. The choice is not accidental, and these meetings were predestined.
Alexia SalterPublished 2 years ago in FuturismOpen Letter to Missionaries
Open letter to the Lady who tried to share her 'good news' with me today while I was looking terrible and slightly desperate in the extreme weather on my walk home. I understand you thought you where being nice but what you where doing was in fact abusive and dangerous.
Victoria L. JankowskiPublished 2 years ago in FuturismDear Pope Frances
Dear Pope Frances, Once again, I, Jiibi Kwe, am here coming to talk to you today to ask for help. The Native Americans seek closure and you have the key to unlock the truth in our history. I would like to ask if the Cavatican would release the records that may be encased behind locked doors in regards to the records of the boarding schools. This is a plea for the children and a plea for my culture for justice.
Sheila L. ChingwaPublished 2 years ago in FuturismHarmony within Diversity
Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion. One of its most characteristic features is its rich variety of opinions and practices. But underlying this diversity is a harmonious philosophy and belief system that encourages individual freedom of thought and religious practice.
