	JewishEncyclopedia.com - SACRIFICE: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The sacrifices treated of in the Law were, according to tradition, the following: (1) the holocaust ("'olah"); (2) the meal-offering ("minḥah"); (3) the sin-offering ("ḥaṭat"); (4) the trespass-offering ("asham")—these four were "holy of holies" ("ḳodesh ha-ḳodashim"); (5) the peace-offerings ("shelamim"), including the thank-offering ("todah") and the voluntary or vow-offering ("nedabah" or "neder").
		In the case of the former the act was performed by the elders; in that of the latter, by the high priest.
		Reform Judaism omits from the prayer-book reference to the sacrifices, sanguinary ceremonies being repugnant to its religious consciousness; it holds that the Jewish doctrine of sin and atonement is not grounded on the sacrificial scheme.

	The Art of Sacrifice
		Human sacrifice prevailed when Muhammed, the Prophet of Arabia, was preaching, and it was one of the glorious acts of his life that he succeeded in abolishing it.
		He violates the law of interdependence in two ways: first, by his acts of commission, by his separative, egotistic and selfish ways; second, by his acts of omission, by not performing acts of sacrifice, by being inactive in upholding the purity and integrity of the rhythm of life.
		Man, the spiritual soul, is the performer of sacrifices and his powers of hands, of head, of heart, are the weapons and instruments by which his acts of sacrifice are performed.

		On the one hand, the theme of evolution may seem to be dominated by the survival of the fittest—the greater overwhelming the lesser; but on the other hand, there may be noted a certain turning point in human evolution where the more evolved give of themselves to the less evolved who follow in their footsteps.
		Without such acts of sacrifice, God’s work would be frustrated; only as one thing gives way to another can the upward trend of evolution maintain its momentum.

		Through acts one is forced to take rebirth, after death, with a body composed of the six and ten ingredients.
		As regards the man devoted to acts, his nature may be inferred from beholding the newborn moon, which appears like a bent thread in the firmament (subject to growth and decay).
		That person of acts takes rebirth with a body with eleven entities for its ingredients, that are the results of modification, and with a subtile form that represents a total of six and ten.

	Self Sacrifice
		Rather than looking at sacrifice as something negative, look at it as a miracle, a holy act, a heroic act, a joyous, creative act, the means to our goal, an investment in the future, and a step to greatness.

		Willingness to sacrifice is a sign of a strong character and is to be encouraged.

	Perlmutter - The Forensics of Sacrifice
		I will argue that to understand the nature of contemporary acts of sacrifice it is necessary to suspend Western values, paradigms, and rational thought processes and examine sacrifice from the standpoint of the phenomenology of religious experience and the magical ideology of the practitioner.
		A common forensic indicator of ritual sacrifice is for blood to be drained from the victim.
		Traditionally the recipients of sacrifice are divine beings who are either worshipped or feared, such as gods, spirits, demonic beings, and sometimes humans, although sacrifice in the proper sense is offered to humans only when they have died and are considered to possess superhuman power.

	The Law of Sacrifice
		In the sacrifice to animals, in the two or three animals that daily we are bound to feed, we are feeding the Lord of animals in His animal creation, and by this sacrifice the animal world is maintained.
		And we learn that the spirit of the law of the five sacrifices is far more valuable than the letter of the law; and we learn to extend tot hat spirit of sacrifice the recognition of the law of obligation, of the law of duty.
		But, by the Law of Sacrifice, having realised the unity of the Self, when we see that outcast member of the human family, we see the Self in him, and the form vanishes, and we know that we are that man, and that man is our self.

	The Essence of Perfection consists in Charity
		Of course, it can be truly said of all our good works that inasmuch as they detach us from self and from creatures they are acts of sacrifice, and, inasmuch as they unite us to God they are acts of love.
		The representatives of these schools seem to fear that unless this be insisted on at the beginning, many souls would fall victims to illusions, think themselves already far advanced in the love of God, whilst, in fact, their virtue is more sentimental and apparent than real.
		Besides, sacrifice courageously accepted for the love of God leads to a charity that is more generous and more constant, and the habitual practice of this charity gradually comes to complete the spiritual edifice.

	Raymond J. Keating -- Timely Message on Evil and Sacrifice in Lord of the Rings
		Those very sacrifices make it clear that despite a wide array of shortcomings and failings, the folk of Middle Earth also are capable of great good through courage, loyalty and love, and are worth saving.
		If this theme of sacrifice strikes a Christian chord, that should not be surprising as Tolkein was a devout Catholic. Christianity, after all, tells of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for mankind. As St. Paul noted: "God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood." (Romans 3:25)
		For all its other merits, perhaps the success of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy received an extra boost as many moviegoers, through recent experiences with terrorism and war, have gained a far greater appreciation for acts of sacrifice in the face of evil and death.
