IMAGE OF MAN
An ancient word of wisdom says that people in that direction is developing, from which he thinks to come here. Well, if we present trends to look at the conditions at least doubtful that we truly love God to come, or whether the smell jungle to the depends on us.
The question of where does the person then contains the same time the other question, who or what we are.
In all cultures, this question was the focus of the human quest and human cognition. The image of people ranging from demigod of mythologies about the child-god of the religions to the end link of a long animal evolution from the amoeba up to one down from the trees "monkeys" of science.
That seems really inconsistent and you can not blame anyone - especially young people - not when they are not ready to deal with such inconsistencies accept and consider, before we shoot more missiles in the direction of further solar systems, it might be appropriate to the findings expand the people something.
It could be that the modern human that the obvious course contents of all schools is one of the inhumanity of our world has to answer for. Young people learn, even in history classes, that only two generations of self-proclaimed demigods all others to "half-men" degraded have ...
The purely biological definition of man makes concepts such as ethics, intelligence, responsibility or conscience to farces. Nature produces no conscience, nature produces only itself, and to mind one can not educate or form if he has none.
The question can be formulated: Is Something of an individual person or a someone? And if they feel inwardly outraged now: of course he is someone that we know as Christians, we must admit with shame that this "just know" is not distinctive traces. If man is one thing, so are pulses, such as culture , morality, religion, philosophy cavities.
These things are no chemical reactions of our digestion. And then it does not matter what we do. Then there is neither good nor bad, nor humanity. If the human being is not, then humanity is irrelevant.
Nature is neither good nor evil. It follows their very own laws of growth and decay. No one holds the lion for "evil" because it rips the gazelle. Morality and ethics, how the humanity in the course of their development searched repeatedly found and lost again, have no nature at the level of significance. "Of course" man is neither good nor evil.
The question now is: does the human sense of goodness and the horror of evil with the when the world comes up or needs him so taught are based on? You heard it already in the question: if he comes " "he is someone and brings something, but he is" made "- what to bring with it then? ...
If a child brings nothing to humanity, we can no longer speak of "development", "talent" and "support". Then dressage announced. If we really assume that the newcomer at all this must be brought, what we, humanity, compassion, conscience and good sense to call, it remains the measure of all of these claims is always the same, as the level our descendants would be in the best case of our. A "better world" would be so unrealistic!
If we want a more human world, we must back the people, the human image that we have lost through the centuries. We find neither in space nor on the Internet or in the laboratories of the sciences or in the fashion magazine.
If the human being as a whole, as complete mental-emotional-physical being has not place in this world, is only part of that set the tone that we recognize its nature. And is the voracious, triebgebunden, and mortal, and therefore the survival of its first principle.
The mind struggles to his ideals, integrity, authenticity in order to freedom, serenity and order not just for themselves but for everyone.
If you ask contemporaries, meaning "spirit" was, then that starts with "castle ghost," with "appearance at the new moon" and "in the old house still does the spirit of a deceased person in order," or "the spirit is sitting in my brain." As far as the popular definitions. Then there's the mind as zeitprägendes Signum: In the spirit of the ancient Greeks or the spirit of Confederation, the humanistic spirit or the spirit of progress.
Most clearly defined the concept of the Spirit, if so, the individuality is meant and indeed the one that is recognizable as such: the individual. The spirit of Socrates, the spirit of Brother Klaus or the ghost of Albert Einstein. And then as the ultimate approach to the concept: the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God.
In a classroom a twelve year old said to this question: "The spirit - that's me. Anyway, I'm tuned to be one." The boy has something clearly recognized: on the quantity, it does not, but on the way to the principle. I do not see that man is the image of God "is, but I think it is possible that he can be!
A tiny Descendant of an oak is already an oak and an eagle chicks new hadchet is already a real eagle. None of us would say to think of it, a newborn was still "no man". But this term does the mind of man, his nature. This being is a citizen of another world and comes as a guest on this earth. "My kingdom is not of this world," says Christ ...
He also speaks of the "Spirit of truth" and the "freedom of spirit." "I am sending the Spirit." To him, however, receive, or even just to feel I must be one! The Spirit is not something that our brain more or less "work in" as a biological consequence of our existence! The spirit is the essence of what we call self.
If we are convinced that the man is a being, the inherent immortality, it must get the mental aspect of a different role in our daily lives. I personally do not believe that we can ignore the spirit lives on and then, beyond the threshold of death is given us. CHALLENGE is the magic word. I need to address the essence in the other man, his ego.
The individuality of a person wakes up only when we call them! If the person is equipped with a divine heritage, it means every human being a divine impact in our earthly reality. And then, is what brings every man, every child, essential and salutary to give than what the company he has.
Then, every newborn child a chance - for all of us! And then it must be the top priority of education, school and education, to seize this opportunity, by our attention not so much on the judge what we have to say to the children, but simply in what they bring with us .. because they come from the source!
Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory, was a devout Christian. That "man descended from apes," he never claimed. His research was referring exclusively to the NATURE of man, his BODY. It is a fatal misunderstanding his theory of evolution to humans relate to par!
What makes man human, is not Conclusion of evolution. The development of nature had to get as far as refining that people could connect with her himself. If the words in Genesis, that God is the last day of creation "body of earth," breathed on his mind, it is so precisely described that moment on the nature of the taking of human being was willing.
The human being is as much older, and this essence remains in God, until he sold it and lets go.
And this moment is historical, if you want to identify scientifically accurate. It is that time at which attaches to the breathtaking nature of the transition to a culture: the upright gait, the free hand, the language, the visual representation of man and world and the beginnings of the conscious actions of caring "work". It must first be someone "be there" before it comes off the pressure! And the mind can not descended from the wild, this is nonsense ... Mozart's music or Goethe's literature is not a result of a chemical process.
Only an attitude that people other than its "nothing perceives the nature, animals explains the" ancestor of man. "This is called the human and materialistic world view.
But on this basis, we will solve none of the problems: violence, racism, bigotry, selfishness, lack of human dignity, greed, superficiality and hedonism!
All those ideals, as we as people have the idea and make a better world - peace, justice, kindness, compassion, dignity, intelligence, real thinking, the idea and the freedom-they are all attributes of the mind. And it is time that we include the reality of the mind into the reality of our world. It alone creates the conditions for a better world!
