	Religious Taoism
		So prominent were astrology, alchemy and divination in this stream of Taoism that it had veered away from philosophy to occultism.
		Of special significance to these mystics were the colour red (symbolizing the furnaces of the alchemists), the Manchurian Crane with its red spot of divinity in its crown, and the compound cinnabar (composed of mercury and sulphur) which could be transformed into a silvery liquid; and back again into a solid.
		Eventually the Heavenly Master sect absorbed most of the beliefs and practices of the other sects and, in the 20th century, became the most popular Taoist group.

	Confucius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Better known in China as "Master Kong" (Chinese: Kongzi), Confucius was a fifth-century BCE Chinese thinker whose influence upon East Asian intellectual and social history is immeasurable.
		At the same time, the network of religious obligations to manifold divinities, local spirits, and ancestors does not seem to have ceased with the fall of the Zhou, and Confucius appears to uphold sacrifices to "gods and ghosts" as consistent with “transmitting” noble tradition.
		The Master said, "Nowadays, for a person to be filial means no more than that he is able to provide his parents with food.

	Divinity - AskTheBrain.com
		But it illustrates all the divinities with its light: and excites to itself superior souls who are afterwards converted to its splendid vision, which before they were incapable of perceiving; and which like the sun dazzles the eye unaccustomed to intellectual light.
		He was struck by the parental characteristic of early Semitic divinities and connected this with the composition of the congregation of worshippers as invariably a 'circle of kin' whose greatest kinsman was the worshipped god.
		Nor is it lawful that a divine nature should be well or ill affected from human concerns: for the divinities are perpetually good and profitable, but are never noxious, and ever subsist in the same uniform mode of being.

	Misery
		The immortality of the soul, a true division of divinity, which, at the time of its first promulgation, arriving after a long interval, seemed a heresy to those faithful to the old dogma, has been none the less considered the complement of divine majesty, necessarily postulated by eternal goodness and justice.
		The Academy admits, then, that divinity and humanity are identical, or at least correlative; but the question now is in what consists this correlation: such is the meaning of the problem of certainty, such is the object of social philosophy.
		I separate you from this divine half of yourself: at the present day it is too much to wish for justice and at the same time to love a woman.

		The Gupta emperors were Hindus, and during their reign Hindu temple architecture developed, in order to shelter the cult image of the divinity to which the particular temple was dedicated.
		The hitherto un-representable metaphysical divinities became transformed into anthropocentric cult statues, at first probably influenced by Buddhist sculpture, but ultimately developing, by the Indian national genius, into the glorious assemblage of Hindu gods and goddesses who populate its caves and temples.

	Sophocles and His Tragedies
		Sophocles, with his just perception of the beautiful in art, effected an outward realization of the conceptions of the great master, exhibiting in perfect form before the eyes of Athens what the other had hewn out in rude masses from the mines of thought.
		His tragedy was not essentially different from that of Aeschylus, and when he chose subjects which the latter had treated, his completed drama bore the same relation to its forerunner that a finished statue bears to an unfinished group.
		After the retirement of Aeschylus, he was recognized as beyond dispute the greatest master of tragedy, and, as we have seen, during the lifetime of the former, wrested from him the tragic prize.

		The statue of the Master of Rain is always a fl-bearded robust man with a jar in his left hand where there is a dragon, whose right hand seems to be sprinkling water.
		But now the sacrificial rites particularly held for the Master of Rain are rarely seen because the worship of the Master of Rain has gradually been replaced by that of the Dragon King in modern times.

	INTRODUCTION TO THELEMA, BY THE U.S. GRAND LODGE OF THE ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS
		In the Book of the Law, the divine Principles are personified by a trinity of ancient Egyptian Divinities: Nuit, the Goddess of Infinite Space; Hadit, the Winged Serpent of Light; and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Horus), the Solar, Hawk-Headed Lord of the Cosmos.
		The neolithic Aeon of Isis is considered to have been dominated by the Maternal idea of divinity, and its formula involved devotion to Mother Earth in return for the nourishment and shelter She provided.
		This "Law of Thelema", as it is called, is not to be interpreted as a license to indulge every passing whim, but rather as the divine mandate to discover one's True Will or true purpose in life, and to accomplish it; leaving others to do the same in their own unique ways.

		So this divinity of yours is no divinity; for if it were, it would not be pretended to by demons, and it would not be denied by gods.

		I then proceed to examine the ritual and conceptual construction of its divine agents (the Twelve Hundred Officials) in comparison to common notions of divinity, which can be shown as both radically different, at least in rhetorically, and yet closely related.

		The quasi-peaceable gentleman of leisure, then, not only consumes of the staff of life beyond the minimum required for subsistence and physical efficiency, but his consumption also undergoes a specialisation as regards the quality of the goods consumed.
		In the process of gradual amelioration which takes place in the articles of his consumption, the motive principle and the proximate aim of innovation is no doubt the higher efficiency of the improved and more elaborate products for personal comfort and well-being.
		The head of the middle-class household has been reduced by economic circumstances to turn his hand to gaining a livelihood by occupations which often partake largely of the character of industry, as in the case of the ordinary business man of today.

		The vessel probably dates from around 350 BC and was doubtless the work of a master craftsman working in an as yet unidentified locality.
		Of all the works in the Louvre, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo are among the most admired: in their striking depiction of the human form they encapsulate the "Greek spirit." This circuit traces this artistic quest of sculptors who had an indelible influence on Western art.
		Greek imagery is peopled with strange figures: major and minor divinities, personifications, terrifying monsters combining two or more species of animal.

	Homer's Gods, Plato's Gods
		That answer is essentially this: Piety is that kind of justice which involves human service to the gods, not in order to provide our masters the gods with anything they need, since they have no needs, but rather to cooperate with our masters the gods to promote well-being in human societies and individuals.
		Good persons recognize the gods as their masters or superiors and carry out their orders, which are, essentially, to act justly and promote human virtue.
		But when they proceed to the divine banquet, they mount the steep ascent to the top of the vault of heaven; and here the advance is easy for the gods' chariots, well balance and guided as they are, but the others have difficulty.

	Excerpts from Swami Vivekananda's legendary address to the World Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893
		The Vedas teach that the soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is therefore mukti-freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery.
		Thus the whole object of their system is by constant struggle to become perfect, to become divine, to reach god and see god, and this reaching god, seeing god, becoming perfect even as the father in heaven is perfect, constitutes the religion of the Hindus.
		It will be a religion which will have no place for persecution or intolerance in its polity, which will recognize divinity in every man and woman, and whose whole scope, whose whole force, will be centered in aiding humanity to realize its own true, divine nature.

		So the body and all the institutions associated with it, the ends and practices based upon the false multiplicity like the varnashrama-dharma, the duties and religious practices based on it, and the imagined heavenly regions attainable through these as stated in the Mimamsa are equally false like the objects seen by a dreamer.
