| | Human nature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Polytheistic or animistic notions vary, but generally regard human beings as citizens in a world populated by other intelligent spiritual or mythological beings, such as gods, demons, ghosts, etc. In these cases, human evil is often regarded as the result of supernatural influences or mischief (although may have many other causes as well). | | | Abrahamic religion holds that a human is a spiritual being which was deliberately created by a single God, and exists in continued relationship with the God. | | | Holistic, pantheistic, and panentheistic spiritual traditions regard humanity as existing within God or as a part of Divine cosmos. |

| | Humanism as a philosophy defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which seeks to include all of humanity and all issues common to human beings. | | | Human beings are one of five species to pass the mirror test – which tests whether an animal recognises its reflection as an image of itself – along with chimpanzees or bonobos, orangutans, and dolphins. | | | In polytheistic religions, humans are mainly characterised by their inferiority to the gods, sometimes reflected in a hierarchical society ruled by dynasties that claim divine descent. |

| | Six lower realms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Note that the sentient beings in the hell realm are sometimes referred to as demons, which can cause confusion, because this term is also used to refer to beings in the asura realm. | | | The asuras are said to experience a much more pleasurable life than humans, but they are plagued by envy for the devas, who they can see, just as humans routinely perceive animals. | | | Buddhist view of hell realm differs significantly from monotheistic religions in that beings in this realm are not there permanently. |

| | The New Atlantis - A Journal of Technology and Society |
| | As long as the human beings using biotechnology do so in the service of their natural desires, their technical means might be new, but their moral ends will be rooted in the enduring desires of human nature. | | | Human beings generally desire a complete life, parental care, sexual identity, sexual mating, familial bonding, friendship, social ranking, justice as reciprocity, political rule, war, health, beauty, wealth, speech, practical habituation, practical reasoning, practical arts, aesthetic pleasure, religious understanding, and intellectual understanding. | | | To believe that we are heading for a posthuman futurewhere human nature as we know it will be abolished or transformedone must accept the premise that our own biotechnical inventions are powerful enough and subtle enough to transform the complex biological natures that define who we are and what we desire. |

| | Mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is also used in relation to postulated supernatural beings to which human-like qualities are ascribed, as in the expression "the mind of God." | | | Berkeley's views were attacked, and in the eyes of many philosophers demolished, by T.H. Huxley, a 19th century biologist and disciple of Charles Darwin, who agreed that the phenomena of the mind were of a unique order, but argued that they can only be explained in reference to events in the brain. | | | The mind is the term most commonly used to describe the higher functions of the human brain, particularly those of which humans are subjectively conscious, such as personality, thought, reason, memory, intelligence and emotion. |

| | This, too, that whoever maintains a sheep, or human being, as our property, is taught to maintain it through the high-priest of Zartosht; even for this reason, because it is so maintained as the property of the sacred beings, when he maintains it as the property of Zartosht. | | | This, too, that the religion of the sacred beings is made progressive [17] by him who shall make an offering (austofrido) to the sacred beings; even for this reason, because making an offering to the sacred beings strengthens the up-holders of religion, and the progress of religion occurs through upholders of religion. | | | This, too, that the names of the sacred beings which are invoked [22] are the praise glorified by any one, and by him who glorifies them they are named; even for this reason, because the names of the sacred beings are the glorification due to their names of praise. |

| | It takes human beings many years to bring up their children and it is the right hemisphere which is concerned with a wide range of emotions and feelings of care and affection for the young and for the family, and then for other people and the community. | | | Human beings store memories by means of changed neural pathways, by means of persistent modifications to the structure of neurons and their synaptic connections, by means of biochemical changes. | | | For human beings, primitive (reptilian) instinctive urges and behaviour are overlaid by mammalian care and affection for one's young and human care and affection for one's family and community. |

| | When a human being develops to the point at which he learns of these vibrations, which require no material tongue for their production, but only the heart be attuned to them, then he can produce the same sounds and become a master of materialization and dematerialization amongst other abilities. | | | Archangels are constantly creating such images, in accordance with the Divine forms, when they shape universes and worlds, and when they form angels to watch over their work. | | | Major holy spiritual archangels are, for example, the Michael, master of the element of light and fire; Gabriel, master of the element of water; Raphael, master of etheric vitality; and Uriel, coordinator of the other three. |

| | The Path From Human to Buddhahood |
| | Hence, it is said in the Buddhist scriptures, "Human form is difficult to come by", and only human beings have the ability and opportunity to follow the Buddha. | | | Some may ask: "What is the difference between the theistic and Buddhist teachings?" Theistic teachings claim that the human realm of existence is inferior to the heavens, but in Buddhist teachings, we claim that the human world is better than the heavens. | | | Nothing in the human or heavenly realm is completely emancipated, so we must try to be released from the cycle of life and death (Samsara), and transcend the three realms of Sensuous Desire (heaven), Form, (the human realm), and the Formless realm of the pure spirit. |

| | Looking back to the time when the Mystery of Golgotha took place on the earth we find, with regard to the spiritual evolution of human beings, the archangelic regency of Oriphiel, that archangel who receives his impulses predominantly from the forces of Saturn. | | | Archangels are somehow promoted to Archai when chosen to serve as Time Spirits, like in the case with Michael, who was the Archangel of the Hebrews in pre-Christian times and has been the Time Spirit of humanity since 1979, when he replaced Gabriel. | | | After this we come to an age when Anael was the reigning archangel, then to the age of Zachariel, then to the age of Raphael, then to that of Samael, then Gabriel, and then to the present age of Michael. |
