Journeying within transcendence - prologue

Description:

The hymn of the Word revealed in flesh shows not simply creation generally proceeding from God but the individual's specific emergence from the creator, the mystery of existence. The emergence from is also an attraction to, providence is directing the journey of life towards meaning, intelligence and love. The individual self has within its subjectivity the numinous which must be reverenced, and so has all creation. Despite the existence of internal forces still inclined to remain in darkness, the answer to the demand for acceptance of God's presence in the self is "yes".

Context:

The first section of St John's Gospel, Chapter I 1-18, is related to a stage in the spiritual journey of the individual.<

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.
