Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Humanism as a philosophy defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which includes all of humanity and all issues common to human beings. Human children are born after a nine-month gestation period, with typically 3-4 kilograms (6-9 pounds) in weight and 50-60 centimetres (20-24 inches) in height in developed countries. Humans often consider themselves to be the dominant species on Earth, and the most advanced in intelligence and ability to manage their environment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Human

Work of the People: Respect Life: A Self Reflection In a world warped by materialism and declining respect for human life, the Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Our belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. The value of human life is being threatened by increasing use of the death penalty. dsjliturgy.blogspot.com /2004/10/respect-life-self-reflection.html

Exploring the Al-Chet Prayer - High Holidays with Aish Since sex is the strongest human drive (next to survival itself), it can therefore be used to achieve the greatest degree of holiness, or -- as we so often witness -- the greatest degree of debasement. Eating is such an essential human activity, that the rabbis say all of a person's character traits are revealed at the dinner table. Speech is the unique human faculty, and is the way we build bridges between each other -- and through prayer, with God. www.aish.com /hhyomk/hhyomkdefault/Exploring_the_Al-Chet_Prayer.asp

WFU psychologist explains the 'curse of the self' “If the self had been installed with a mute button or off switch, the self would not be the curse to happiness that it often is,” Leary says. For example, when athletes choke in games or actors forget their lines or students are paralyzed by test anxiety, Leary says it is sometimes because their internal self-talk is diverting their attention from the task at hand. He argues that “the self” evolved to help us meet the challenges of living as prehistoric hunters and gatherers. www.wfu.edu /wfunews/2004/070604l.html

International Society for Self and Identity Drawing from work in psychology and other behavioral sciences, in The Curse of the Self, Mark Leary explores personal and social problems that are created by the human capacity for self-reflection and offers insights regarding how these problems may be minimized. Although the capacity for self-awareness is an essential aspect of human nature, self-reflection comes at a high price. Contrary to theories that depict the individual's relation to society as one of victimization, endless malleability, or just a square peg in a round hole, he proposes that the individual human being is designed by nature to be part of society. www.psych.neu.edu /ISSI/books.htm

Self-Reflection Naikan Retreat -- The ToDo Institute At the end of each period of reflection, usually 90-120 minutes, someone (the mensetsusha) meets with the participant to listen to his or her Naikan reflection. The role of the mensetsusha is to listen attentively and suggest the subject for the next period of reflection. Most people are born, live and die without ever taking the time to truly reflect on how they have lived their lives. todoinstitute.com /naikanretreat.html

Gratitude & Self-Reflection Archives Rather that they are followers of Naikan, which is a structured form of meditation that serves as a "consciousness for inside observation." An awakening and knowing of self and one's fellow human beings. My Naikan reflection on this accident has allowed me to see, in detail, all the thoughtful acts that were done on my behalf by others -- many efforts by my family and people I had never even spoken with. I think of how different this process is from Zen meditation-one looking inward, one looking outward-yet how they both ultimately point to the emptiness of self. www.todoinstitute.org /gratitude.html

Naikan: A Method of Self-reflection -- The ToDo Institute It is a structured method of self-reflection that helps us to understand ourselves, our relationships and the fundamental nature of human existence. Naikan was developed by Yoshimoto Ishin, a devout Buddhist of the Jodo Shinshu sect in Japan. www.todoinstitute.org /naikan.html

Rainbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sometimes, a second, dimmer rainbow is seen outside the primary bow, caused by a double reflection of the sunlight inside the raindrops, and appears at an angle of 50°–53°. The rainbow's appearance is caused by dispersion of sunlight as it is refracted by (approximately spherical) rain drops. A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the sun shines onto falling rain. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rainbow

CONK! Encyclopedia: Human Human beings are one of four species to pass the mirror test — which tests whether an animal recognizes its reflection as an image of itself — along with chimpanzees or bonobos, orangutans, and dolphins. Human and non-human animals are said to possess consciousness, self-awareness, or a mind, which gives rise to an individual's perception of his own existence, the passage of time, and his free will, though some philosophers argue that free will is an illusion.

Rainbow The well-known modern conception of the cause of rainbow - the refraction and reflection of sunbeams in the raindrops - was firs apparently grounded by René Descartes (1596-1650) in 1637. Concept of the rainbow as a belt of a mother of the heavens is known likewise by the Livonians. The most wellknown rainbow representation in the European cultural area is the version in the Bible, where the rainbow is the sign of the covenant between Jehovah and Noah: I do set my bow in the cloud; and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth (Genesis 9.13). haldjas.folklore.ee /folklore/vol6/rainbow.htm   (7435 words)

A Special Human Biology By contrast, the value and dignity of human beings, in the view of the Auvergnian Jesuit, lies in their ability, within limits, to freely choose to support, or decline to support, the process of humanity's convergence (or totalization) upon itself. In this regard he advocates 'a special biology of man: a biology that is necessitated by, and defined by, the breakthrough of reflection.' (1) Granted, such a biology will have features in common with the normal, everyday biological sciences that deal with life at the levels of 'viruses and genes' and 'cellular beings'. In Teilhard's view, then, human beings, because they belong to the one terrestrial zoological group that has made the transit from instinctual to thinking life, possess a multiplicity of abilities, tendencies and aspirations which are lacking to the animal species whose conscious existence is rigidly circumscribed by non-reflective instinct. noosphere.cc /biology.html   (3953 words)

Catholic Social Teaching -- Human Dignity The human person is the clearest reflection of God's presence in the world; all of the Church's work in pursuit of both justice and peace is designed to protect and promote the dignity of every person. Whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others of their like are infamies indeed. The dignity of the human person, realized in community with others, is the criterion against which all aspects of economic life must be measured. www.osjspm.org /cst/q_dignity.htm   (676 words)

Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is difficult, however, to arrive at a set of attributes that includes all humans, and humans only, and the wish to find unique human characteristics is a matter of human self-reflection more than one of zoology.

wood s lot - June 1-15 2001 But the decision of the national government to actively rejoin the community of outlaw regimes and human rights abusers who still mete out death sentences merits some reflection.... Human suffering and death cannot be simply conceptualized as "less horrible" or "more horrible." Those who lived the Great Starvation suffered: psychological terror, physical abuse and in many cases death in ways similar to that of Native Americans, captive slaves and the victims of Nazi genocide. The human rights battle in Chile transcended individual trials and focused on rescuing and restoring a collective, historic memory that was nearly expunged by the powerful and the arrogant. www.ncf.ca /~ek867/2001_06_01_archives.html   (15021 words)

20th WCP: The Cautionary Ontological Approach To Technology of Gabriel Marcel There is a feeling that the human being is being impeded in the process of creating the self in the full range called for by its being in its inner core by supervening adventitious forces which impose a lower standard for the human being, albeit very useful and effective. The realm of the sacral must be reduced to an illusion which presents itself as the enemy of progress for the welfare of humanity. The techniques used to manipulate human beings and things are seen as indispensable and self-sufficient means to perform any task or project desired in the acquisition of things or in the management of activities of both human beings and things. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Tech/TechGend.htm   (5636 words)

The Invisible Computer - CHAPTER 9 When potential users have difficulties, this is a challenge to the development team, not an indictment of the developers, not a reflection of low intelligence by the users. But human-centered development is concerned with big, robust phenomena, effects that apply across a wide range of conditions. There is a more fundamental problem with focus groups: They tap the conscious, rational part of human behavior, which is not necessarily consistent with actual behavior during the course of a day. mitpress.mit.edu /books/NORVH/chapter9.html   (5080 words)

Microwave Absorption in Humans Going back to the original application, the path loss at 1GHz from the middle of a human torso to the surface, including one reflection loss at the single surface, is no more than about 20dB. The loss vs distance measurements in air revealed that there was much multipath radiation, arriving at the receive antenna having scattered off objects in the laboratory, despite the directionality of the horns. Despite the variability of the path loss from measurement to measurement, the results of this experiment, when averaged, are reasonably consistent. www.ee.surrey.ac.uk /Personal/D.Jefferies/antennexarticles/mwabsor.htm   (1952 words)

Reflection Group's Report (3) The Group has looked at a comparative study of fundamental rights guaranteed in the Member States, which was made by the Council Secretariat and shows the technical difficulties of such an exercise despite the fact that all Member States guarantee the protection of human rights on their territory. The Group therefore considers that it must continue to follow the course set out in the White Paper on Competitiveness and in the process for examining the employment problems which was initiated after the Essen European Council and which has already been the main item on the agenda of the latest European Council meetings. The Group also feels in general that it is necessary to simplify as far as possible the actual text of the Treaty so that its contents are clearer, easier to understand and therefore accessible to citizens interested in examining and studying it. www.europarl.eu.int /enlargement/cu/agreements/reflex4_en.htm   (1952 words)

Circle of Song by Kate Marks, Full Circle Press The vibration of the human voice is considered the most powerful healing force of all. The voice is the truest reflection of our inner health and well-being. To open the natural healthful voice does not require a specific training method but involves a highly personalized process of self-discovery and inner listening. www.circleofsong.com /soundh3.shtml   (1375 words)

Thought Crime The universe, then, is thinker and thought, and since we are part of it, we as humans are, in the final analysis, thoughts of and thinkers of those thoughts. Amnesia is essential to civilizing human beings: when one forgets the possibilities (the richness of past, present, and future) one is domesticated, one disappears. This is a warning of what happens to spirit when it becomes divorced from its soul pairing, when it ceases to find its reflection in soul - and loses it. www.deoxy.org /tcrime.htm   (1375 words)

Human and Cosmic Thought by Rudolf Steiner, A Review by Bobby Matherne What you finally perceive as thoughts are the reflections, the mirror-pictures; what you first have to prepare so that the right reflection may appear is some part or other of the brain. One might say that it first appeared in the sixth or eighth century B. Before then the human soul did not at all experience what can be called "thought" in the true sense of the word. People in the time of Homer perceived their thoughts as falling into them, as apples into their "mind's basket" and today we perceive our thoughts as being created by the wetware of the cells of our physical brain. www.doyletics.com /arj/hactrvw.htm   (1375 words)

Human shield, a puzzling phenomenon I think it is terribly sad that the value of the human shield activist's lives seems to warrant more reflection than the valuable lives of the Iraqi citizens that will die in the bombing campaign. Whether or not there are some human shields standing in front of a military institution shouldn't be a factor (and I assure you, it won't be). If they literally were "human shields" and could protect the bodies of Iraqi citizens from bullets or missiles, it would be an amazing display of courage. 2thinkforums.org /anyboard/archive/19861.html   (2787 words)
