		She represents that which is sexually appealing to men, and became the horseman’s guide when incarnate as a mare.
		This local goddess was neither a maiden, matron, and crone of the moon (as a 20th-century theory would have it), and wasn’t necessarily remnant of "matriarchal" religion, for she was an ideal of male desire.
		Druidic rituals were similar to the rituals of the Zoroastrian religion of the Magi (the Mobads).

		In linguistics, a hypostasis, from the Greek word ὑπόστασις [1] meaning foundation, base or that which stands behind is a relationship between a name and a known quantity, as a cultural personification (i.e.

		Thus it came about that the philosophers of early Greece and Rome were almost invariably avowed sceptics as regards the popular religious beliefs of their time, though in spite of this, with the sole exception of Socrates, they wore allowed to preach their doctrines openly in the market place without lot or hindrance.
		Christianity, indeed, had its metaphysics--for every religion is bound, in a sense, to explain its Divinity to its devotees--but they were the bastard metaphysics of the Athanasian Creed, the expression of a political compromise drawn up to satisfy the warring sects of Christendom.
		The Third Divine Hypostasis is the Universal Soul, and this again is the image of the Second; but it differs from its principal in the fact that life in its sphere is no longer inert or motionless, but revolves about and within the Universal Intelligence.

		Taoism is a beautiful religion, actually it is a "predecessor of Christianity", but the one most misunderstood, because for its symbol is used the dualistic anagram of the Yin and Yang, born 1,500 years before Taoism.
		Buddhism is a religion which is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, the son of a wealthy landowner born in northern India around 560 B.C. In order to achieve spiritual peace, Gautma renounced his worldly advantages and became known as Buddha, or "the enlightened one".
		One of the oldest living religions in the world, Hinduism is unique among the world religions in that it had no single founder but grew over a period of 4,000 years in syncretism with the religious and cultural movements of the Indian subcontinent.

		Religion and theology are also connected with ancient wisdom, but "It is significant that this development of wisdom and philosophy takes place apart from the religious sector, that it remains its further movement essentially separate from religion, indeed that it assumes a stance of definite opposition" (Ibid.).
		This is true primarily of the Western Civilization, "The contrast between philosophy and religion dominates altogether the intellectual history of antiquity from the rise of Hellenism on" (Ibid.).
		The New Testament confirmed and expanded the hypostasis of wisdom in the Old Testament and its identification with the eternal and preexistent Christ, "In the person of Jesus Old Testament wisdom radiates; the ancient church confesses the Logos and preserves fully the biblical tradition" (56).

		Most of what has been said so far about the lives of the common people still had to be based on information that could be inferred from statements made at the tip of the imperial hierarchy, and then mostly from the funerary cult by which royalty and aristocracy memorialized itself for subsequent scrutiny.
		Thus, though Heliopolitan theology is basically monotheistic, at the second hypostasis it may be characterized as being ditheistic or dualistic.
		But, be that as it may, this writer is saddled with the historical and human obligation to visualize ancient peoples in light of how they themselves might have lived out their finitude vis-à-vis greater-than-human realities—or might have accepted their temporality in light of their own glimpses of eternity.

	Is Orthodoxy Neo-Platonic?: A Response to the Credenda Agenda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hypostasis increasingly came to mean a substantive mode of existence in its unique and distinctive particularity and individuality.
		It was the characteristic trait of ancient philosophy, religion, and humanism that the individual was not valued in and of itself in its particularity but only as an paradigmatic instance of a universal ideal type.
		While in principle it is the hypostasis that individuates, instead of one of the metaphysical elements of the human ousia, it is the process of theosis that is the actual process of individuating the one becoming a person in the fulness of the Likeness of the interpersonality of the Trinitarian life.

		Indeed, the human body, since it is matter, would rather seem to be nearer the hypostasis than the soul, which is a form, since the principle of individuation, which is implied in the word "hypostasis," would seem to be matter.
		Reply to Objection 2: If the hypostasis of the Word of God were constituted simply by human nature, it would follow that the body was nearest to it, since it is matter which is the principle of individuation; even as the soul, being the specific form, would be nearer the human nature.
		But because the hypostasis of the Word is prior to and more exalted than the human nature, the more exalted any part of the human nature is, the nearer it is to the hypostasis of the Word.

	The Old and New Testament in the Religious Consciousness of L. Tolstoy
		And always to this genius, the religion of the Logos and the philosophy of the Logos were foreign, always his religious element remained non-verbal, not expressible in word, in consciousness.
		The religion of Tolstoy -- is not a new Christianity, it is an Old Testament and pre-Christian religion, precluding the Christian revelation about person, the revelation about the Second Hypostasis, the Hypostasis of the Son.
		All religions, in his opinion, are better than the religion of Christ -- the Son of God, since they all teach, how to live, they gives laws, rules, commandments; the religion of salvation, however, transfers everything from man to the Saviour and to the mystery of redemption.

		Hypostasis would then be the ousia as concretized in and by a person (prosopon), a "pure self," an "absolute I".
		Hypostasis is absolute, and pure, "I"-ness as it is in German Idealist philosophy (J G Fichte and W J Schelling).
		A hypostasis was either selfsubsistent or non-selfsubsistent, and this did not imply a difference between the two where one is hypostatic and the other anhypostatic.

	Luciferianism: The Religion of Apotheosis \| Phillip D. Collins
		In The Hypostasis of the Archons, an Egyptian Gnostic document, we read how the traditional story of man's disobedience toward God is reinterpreted as a universal conflict between "knowledge" (gnosis) and the dark "powers" (exousia) of the world, which bind the human soul in ignorance.
		On the other hand, it is neither God the Imperishable nor Sophia who actually is responsible in the making of man. On the contrary, the task is undertaken by the archons, the demonic powers who, because of their "weakness," entrap man in a material body and thus cut him off from his blessed origin.
		Evolutionary theory was the edifying "science" of Promethean zealotry and the new secular religion of the scientific dictatorship.

		Both metaphysics and Mosaic religion move in the direction of an ethic governed by moral principles rather than arbitrary ritual rules.
		This postulation of transcendence affirms the primordial ethical significance of the vertical relation of sign to referent, as opposed to the mystified concreteness of the "horizontal" worldly interactions characteristic of ritual.
		But in either case, the transcendent is a hypostasis of the world of representation; the common referent of both the heaven of the Ideas and that of the Word is the sign.

		The scapegoating mechanism which underlies all religion and culture substitutes lower doses of sacred violence in the face of the threat of all-consuming profane violence.
		This is the cultural world in which social belonging and religion lead people to maintain their group unity by fixing on someone or some group who can be thrown out, anathematized, cursed.

		Every higher Hypostasis is universal and undifferentiated - the field or ground - in relation to its subsequent Hypostasis; the subsequent Hypostasis is defined and limited - the focus or figure - in relation to the preceeding Hypostasis.
		Next to the first hypostasis is the second hypostasis, which, although itself very Absolute-like in nature, is still not quite as Absolute-like as the first hypostasis, which in turn is still not quite as Absolute-like as the Absolute-Absolute.
		And of course next to this second hypostasis is a third hypostasis, which, although also very Absolute-like in nature, is not quite as Absolute-like as the second hypostasis, which is not quite as Absolute-like as the first hypostasis, and so on.

		The word "hypostasis" is about as recondite a term as I can imagine; even in its primary theological meaning the term overwhelmingly used is "person." I think you're being influenced by its status in Russian.
		The notion of hypostasis is an essential element of all except the most eccentrically unorthodox Christian traditions.
		Christianity is essential to the natively English-speaking world, thus "hypostasis" belongs, or should belong, in the core vocabulary of its culture.

		The council had implicitly defined the union of the two natures in one hypostasis, a union called physical in opposition to the mere juxtaposition or joining of the two natures called a moral union.
		Hypostasis superadds to the notion of rational substance this idea of entirety; nor does the idea of rational nature include this notion of entirety.

		In this article, the development of O.K. religion, which was centred around the person of the monarch, is described as a conscious attempt to create a rationale and articulation of the political structure of the state and the cosmic structure of the universe.
		Proceeding from Morenz's characterization of the Egyptian religion including the funerary beliefs (a national, not a world religion; a cult, not a holy book religion; not a religion based on revelation, but one grown in history), the author first makes some general remarks on his arguments in the field of the funerary religion.

		In religion and philosophy, henotheism is a term coined by Max Müller, meaning devotion to a single god while accepting the existence of other gods.
		While Greek and Roman religion began as polytheism, during the Classical period the religion was thoroughly henotheistic, taking the form of a monarchical polytheism.
		However, unprecedented and thitherto unduplicated ideas of pure monism are to be found even in the early Rig Veda Samhita, notwithstanding clearly monist and monotheist movements of Hinduism that developed with the advent of the Upanishads.

	Overview of Gnosticism
		Gnosticism is loaded with Buddhism and other Eastern religions and also takes a negative view of the world and searches for "inner truth." There is also a great deal of neo-Platonism in both Gnosticism and Christianity in general.
		Gnosticism is a blanket term for various religions and sects most prominent in the first few centuries A.D. Its name comes from the Greek word for knowledge, gnosis, referring to the idea that there is special, hidden knowledge that only a few may possess.
		The Zoroastrian religion, three millennia old and still extant, and the Manichaean religion, which has died out (some "Neo-Manicheans" have revived it, but they lack most of the writings of the prophet Mani) are dualistic.

		From this, again it is easy to infer that there is a subsistence (hypostasis) of the Son which distinguishes him from the Father.
		In each hypostasis the whole nature is understood the only difference being that each has his own peculiar subsistence.
		The whole Father is in the Son, and the whole Son in the Father, as the Son himself also declares [John 14:10], "I am in the Father, and the Father in me;" nor do ecclesiastical writers admit that the one is separated from the other by any difference of essence.
