Journeying within transcendence - from me to you

Description:

Although the disciples have misunderstood Jesus they still follow him in faith, unlike the Jews who seek his death. His death will break and shatter them at many levels, but there is still hope. They will receive the strengthening and power of the Holy Spirit which will transform the negative to the positive and act as another advocate for them with God. The Spirit witnesses in the heart so that the disciple may witness externally to others. At the centre of the self there is an openness to God and humanity; and it is from there that the energy, breath, life-giving force acts to lead one out of one's self, beyond the limits, there is the revelation of who "I am". From here there is a moving out to others, a refusal to move out diminishes the spirit within.

Context:

The fifteenth section of St John's Gospel, Chapter XIII 31 to XVI 31, 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.
