Meditations on First Philosophy

There is no single founder or book. Hinduism contains complex philosophies and beliefs that are centered around being in harmony with one’s self. The Origin of the Greek Mythology is much more detailed than that of Hinduism. The poem Theogony by Hesiod gives a complete myth on the creation of the Greeks. In the poem…

A protruding belly or excess stomach fat is a source of great distress. When it comes to weight loss, the stomach is the one body part which gets the most attention. People try everything to get rid of stomach fat. The Body Operates in Paradoxes People have to understand that the body works in paradoxical ways.

Santo Niño in Butuan City on December 10, 2013. I was very happy because I was part of the group. We have our rehearsal every night after dinner. It was tiring but I enjoyed it because I like music. Every day I went to the library not to study philosophy and other subject, but to find a book about music or to find a piece of music. Whenever I found a piece of music, I immediately went to the chapel and starts playing the piano and suddenly Fr. Michael came to me and said “wow that was great huh…

aesthetics ruled over the functional considerations. Integrating the works of architecture into the scheme of city planning and figurative representations, the project also discerns the importance of reading the past through partially manipulated art and philosophy. Structurally, the few remaining works of Tang timber-frame architecture all have religious associations -- the Foguang Temple and Southern Zen Temple at Mount Wuyi, or the Daoist Deity Hall in Shanxi.

an extended journey. I had long before rejected the existence of God, but that had never made me hostile to faith—indeed, it spurred my interest in all faiths that posited the existence of divine beings. I continued my studies in theology and philosophy far beyond the boundaries of the formal classrooms I had been in at St. Thomas Seminary in Denver and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. One person has both watched and participated as this process unfolded over so many…
