Time to Refresh

January 25th, 2012

As you know, I have not any new post for several weeks. Don’t know, I was bored and I have no idea to make a post. I know that is not good news but I think it is very common for the blogger like me. I’m a blogger but I’m not pro blogger. I have no special time to blog and I don’t have any skill about web script or etc. So, I just make a posting if I want to write something for share with others or in a good mood.

Blogging is only for fun. I wouldn’t force my mind to make something that I haven’t enjoy with it. In real life, I’ve responsibility to my company. Yes, I’m employee. Self employee. I’m working with my partner in small office to create something everyday. And I will do for all my best to reach success in my business because I really love my jobs.

Body is The Sacred of God Conveyance

January 13th, 2012

Actually, all of human are religious. They will always strive to invent a meaningful of world. When people are happy and contented, they tend to take life for granted. It is when they suffer or find life difficulty, they will begin to search for reason and a way out of their difficulty. They may ask why some are born in poverty and suffering, while others are born in fortunate circumstances. Some people believe that it is due to fate, chance or invisible power beyond their control. Birth, growth, maturation and death are being a part of the continuing process of change. It is a mysterious thing that always cycles.

Body is the sacred of God conveyance and also as the symbol of crime. As a ‘flesh’, body is a place for soul to study and also as the salvation obstacles. Our physical health and salvation have mutually connected, but the siccknes of bodily has indicated as the religious temptations sign or in the other words as the evidence curse of the God (Turner, 2006:11). Some of the stories tell us about Jesus and the prophet of Moslem that is not perfectly person as physical. The limitation of our body is wrong, because the religion study precisely mention that our body is formed by ourselves experiences about the parodies of existence (Vermes, 1973).

Indeed, the body is a symbol -and not an allegory- of the mind. Deeply and genuinely felt emotion, and even genuinely felt thought, is expressed in our whole organism. In the case of the universal symbol, we find the same connection between mental and physical experience. Certain physical phenomena suggest by their very nature certain emotional and mental experiences and we express emotional experiences in the language of physical experiences that is to say symbolically (Borges: 1979).

According to Borges, belief and rituals are the two main concerning to find meaning of the human existence. ‘The Elementary Form’ explained that truthfully, religion is not contained belief in Gods or the Holy Spirit, but it is established on the distinction categories between the profane realities and the sacred world. Faithful, mythology, dogma and the legends are the representation systems which are expressing the sacred things, quality and integrated of the sacred powers, or the relation among of them and the profane things (Durkeim, 1961: 52).

Our understandings about religion not reach out as naive. However, it were going by intermediary traditional perspectives or the discourses which are controlling our mind to receive and explain another cultures and faith system (Turner: 2006)
