The values of divinity and humanity are two aspects cannot be separated in living religion. The presence of God in every human being is a necessity and can undeniable. Meanwhile, people are also individuals who connected from other humans, because humans are social creatures. Therefore, faith must be proportional to the good deeds. Transgender as part of social life is also trying to prove them self as being godless creatures and social beings. The purpose is realized by establishing special schools transgender (pesantren waria). Pesantren founded in Yogyakarta became the fi rst transgender pesantren in Indonesia and even in the world. In the midst of the claim, transgender is a sinner ungrateful creature nature. Transgender showed up with his spiritual experience. Experiences are certainly cannot be equated with spiritual experiences that experienced by a kiyai, santri, scholars. They are regarded righteous in the eyes of society. Through this article, the author will try to give an idea of the spiritual experience of transgender in religion. Through this article, the author does not want to judge and claim their religious pattern of right or wrong. As well as this article, is expected to add a new discourse for the reader about the spirit and transgender spiritual experience. So, it can open a religious pattern that is more inclusive and open.

Contradictions of Modernity. Conflicting Configurations and Societal Thinking in Grundtvig's »The Human Being in the World«A Worm - a God. About the Human Being in the World. Ove Korsgaard (ed.). With contributions of Niels Buur Hansen, Hans Hauge, Bosse Bergstedt, Uffe Jonas and Knud Bjarne Gjesing. Odense Universitetsforlag 1997.By Henning EichbergIn 1817, Grundtvig wrote »Om Mennesket i Verden« which can be regarded as a key to the understanding of his philosophy and psychology, but which is difficult to place in relation to his later folkelig, societal engagement. A recent reedition of this text together with some actual comments by Grundtvig researchers is an occasion to quest deeper about this relation.However, it is not enough to ask - as Grundtvig research has done for a long time - what Grundtvig wanted to say, but his text can be regarded as a document of how modem orientation in the world is characterized by conflicting linguistic and metaphorical patterns, which sometimes may tell another story than intended.On the one hand, Grundtvig's text speaks of a lot of dualistic contradictions such as life vs. death, light vs. darkness, truth vs. lie, God vs. devil, human fall vs. resurrection, body vs. spirit, nature vs. history and time vs. eternity. In contrast to the author's intention to produce clarity and lucidity - whether in the spirit of Christianity or of modem rationality - the binary constructions give rather a confusing picture of systematical disorder where polarity and polemics are mixed, antagonism and gradual order, dichotomy and exclusive either-or, paradoxes and dialectical contradictions. On the other hand,Grundtvig tries again and again to build up three-pole imaginations as for instance the threefold human relation to time, space and truth and the three ages of spiritual seeing, feeling and conceptualization resp. of mythology (childhood), theology (youth) and history (adult age). The main history, Grundtvig wants to tell in his text, is built up around the trialectic relation of the human being to the body, to the spirit and to itself, to the living soul.The most difficult to understand in this relation seems to be what Grundtvig calls the spirit, Aanden. Grundtvig describes it as Aandigt Samfund mellem Menneske og Sandhed, »the spiritual community between the human being and the truth«, and this may direct our attention towards samfund, meaning at the same time association, togetherness and society. Aanden is described by threefold effects - will, conscience and faith, all of them describing social relations between human beings resp. their psychological correlate. The same social undertone is true when Grundtvig characterizes three Aande-Livets Spor (»traces of spiritual life«): the word, the history and love. If »the spirit« represents what is larger or »higher« than the single human being and what cannot be touched by his or her hand, then this definition fits exactly to society or the sociality of the human being. Social life - whether understood as culture, social identity or folk (people) - is not only a quantitative sum of human individuals, but represents another quality of natural order. Thus it has its logic that Grundtvig places the human being in between the realms of minerals, plant and animal life on the one hand and the »higher« order on the other, which can be understood as the social existence.In this respect, the societal dimension is not at all absent in his philosophy of 1817. However, it is not enough to state the implicite presence of sociality as such in the earlier Grundtvigian thinking before his folkelig break-through. What was the sociality, more concretely, which Grundtvig experienced during the early modernity? In general, highly dichotomous concepts are dominating the modem discourse as capitalism vs. feudalism, materialism vs. idealism, modernity vs. premodemity, democracy vs. absolutism or revolution vs. restoration; Grundtvig was always difficult to place into these patterns. Again, it might be helpful to try a trialectical approach, transcending the dualism of state and market by civil society as a third field of social action. Indeed, it was civil society with its farmers' anarchist undertones which became the contents of Grundtvig's later folk engagement.

This article proposes to examine in detail Aurobindo’s searching—and often quite original—criticisms of Advaita Vedānta, which have not yet received the sustained scholarly attention they deserve. After discussing his early spiritual experiences and the formative influence of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda on his thought, I outline Aurobindo’s philosophy of “realistic Adwaita”. According to Aurobindo, the sole reality is the Divine Saccidānanda, which is not only the static impersonal Brahman but also the personal, dynamic Cit-Śakti (Consciousness-Force), which manifests as everything in this universe. At various points in his corpus, Aurobindo criticizes Advaita Vedānta on three fronts. From the standpoint of spiritual experience, Aurobindo argues that Śaṅkara’s philosophy is based on a genuine, but partial, experience of the Infinite Divine Reality: namely, the experience of the impersonal nondual Absolute and the corresponding conviction of the unreality of everything else. Aurobindo claims, on the basis of his own spiritual experiences, that there is a further stage of spiritual experience, when one realizes that the impersonal-personal Divine Reality manifests as everything in the universe. From a philosophical standpoint, Aurobindo questions the logical tenability of key Advaitic doctrines, including māyā, the exclusively impersonal nature of Brahman, and the metaphysics of an illusory bondage and liberation. Finally, from a scriptural standpoint, Aurobindo argues that the ancient Vedic hymns, the Upaniṣads, and the Bhagavad-Gītā, propound an all-encompassing Advaita philosophy rather than the world-denying Advaita philosophy Śaṅkara claims to find in them. This article focuses on Aurobindo’s experiential and philosophical critiques of Advaita Vedānta, as I have already discussed his new interpretations of the Vedāntic scriptures in detail elsewhere. The article’s final section explores the implications of Aurobindo’s life-affirming Advaitic philosophy for our current ecological crisis.

Humans will be able to live perfectly when they live together with other humans, in relation to other humans, certain norms or rules are needed. In the regulation, one of them was written about the procedure for honoring guests called Athiti Krama. Athiti Krama gives motivation in human life because through this human being can foster good relations between humans one with other human beings in harmony. The implementation of Athiti Krama can be found in societies everywhere in the world, both in the advanced society and the people who are still modest in their civilization.<br /> In social life, everyone should behave well so as to create happiness for themselves and the community, because in the teachings of Hinduism, Athiti Krama teachings are basically contained which can bring people to achieve harmony in social order in society. The basis of Athiti Krama's teachings is the ethics or morality that many of the Vedic scriptures have mentioned, one of which is Tri Kaya Parisudha. Considering the importance of Athiti Krama as a social guide in people's lives. So it should be known to be applied in the learning process in Pasraman Dharma Bhakti.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

Abstract The study aims at proving that philosophy plays a significant role in the process of development of a child. Thanks to it a child acquires a fuller comprehension of itself and the surrounding world. It also gains the need to express its own concepts, share doubts of existential nature. A child articulates its amazement from the earliest stage of its development, which is a classical example of philosophical thinking. However, traditional terms seem to be the biggest obstacle in practicing philosophy with children. Therefore, it is avoided since it ought to be performed with the use of terminology which is alien to a child. Discovering philosophy should become an adventure for a child, enabling it to recognize mental processes in a human being. It also allows the explanation of numerous phenomena associated with human attitudes, behaviors, rules of reasoning and acting, organization of the world and social life. In no way should anyone be forced to precise philosophy. A man must crave for it and miss it on his own. Childhood is the most appropriate period of time enabling to perceive philosophy as the love of wisdom.

Dramatic Performance

This chapter discusses Christmas plays and playing in theatres and courts, streets and churches. As an embodied art form, dramatic performance is able to powerfully convey the central Christian doctrine that God was born into the world as a human being, the Word made flesh. The fleshiness of the dramatic form has made performances of the Nativity controversial at times. The chapter explores dramatic treatments of Christ’s birth, before turning to the festive and playful nature of the Christmas season. Christmas playing has often involved joyous interruptions to the regular routines and order of social life, such as in the Feast of Fools. In some plays, however, an outward appearance of festivity disguises a more troubling narrative. The chapter concludes by considering Christmas plays as ‘gathering time(s)’. Christmas brings people together; it also draws together memories of past celebrations and hopes for the future. The stage offers its own modes of gathering, for characters and audiences, to discover together what Christmas means to them.

In the article, based on the analysis of various, partly alternative and contradictory philosophical approaches, ideas and views on the nature of man, its essence, vocation and place in the world, which were developed and promoted throughout the historical development of world philosophy and culture, it shows and substantiates active need and social need to create a modern synthetic, integral concept of man, which must show how all achievements and achievements of man (language, consciousness, ideas, tools, state, image) arcs of art, myth, religion, history, social life) "arise from the basic structure of human being." Actuality is caused not only by the crisis of the modernist idea of "man of reason", who pushed out "natural man" and established himself as a supervising authority on "man of morality" lifted the Mind to unprecedented height, and since Descartes "cogito ergo sum" actually deified, left off seek proof of the truth of their own attitudes not in the realm of the transcendental mind, but in itself, in the self-consciousness (thus philosophically, metaphysically, it eliminated Genesis not as self-consciousness, as that which is always and in advance), but also by the crisis of domains yuchoho past decade and post postpostmodernistskoho discourse on understanding of society, culture, rights and their place in today's "fool the world." The purpose of the article is to show and substantiate the objective necessity and rational expediency of creating a modern integral concept of man, who, incorporating all the achievements of world and national philosophical and scientific thought, as a result of a combination of different approaches – formative, civilizational, sociocultural, and on its basis made our understanding of history, society, man, personality much more humane, more multidimensional and more comprehensive.

In The Beginning

The study of the metaphor in a literary work can be used to find out the author’s creativity in utilizing words to concretize an abstraction through the use of metaphor. Because every human being is essentially unique, each author is assumed to have his/her own style in creating metaphors. The two questions in this article are: 1) how is the typical form of metaphor in Layla Majnun as the embodiment of creativity? ; 2) what is the function of the use of metaphor in Layla Majnun? Based on the analysis of data, a metaphor can be classified into a phrase, clause, and sentence. At the phrasal level, position or location of the image element can be either in the beginning or in the end of the topic. Meanwhile, at the level of the clause and sentence, image elements are always in the end of the topic. This latter sequence is possible because the clause part of the “explained or described” is filled syntactically by the predicate. The predicate in Indonesian is predominantly located after the subject. The study of the use of metaphor in Layla Majnun leads to the conclusion that the creativity of the author in creating metaphor reflected on how human (the author) sees the world. Because human perception is inseparable from the environment in which the author lives, develops, and interacts, the use of metaphor in Layla Majnun reflects an overview of the social life, values of culture, and customs of the Arab people at that time.

Hajj Season

Hajj is the largest Muslim pilgrimage to Macca, Saudi Arabia and the longest gathering in the world. Every year nearly two million Muslims from over 140 countries visit Macca to perform their hajj during the Hajj season. Generally, the pilgrims are accompanied by family members, friends, or solo. At the same time, they will also interact and socialize with other individuals from different countries and cultures. In this situation, the activities performed are quite complex and they interact frequently and cause pilgrims to experience complex and dynamic emotions. Hajj worship also provides them with a mystical and spiritual experience. It also tends to affect and express the various emotions within the pilgrims during the pilgrimage. This article discusses various forms of emotion that are reported or observed during spiritual experiences and will relate to the more specific discussions in the context of pilgrimage.

The World

Today we face the consequences of ‗God's death‘, or falling out of heaven, and with him the collapse of many ideologies and values. We witness the disintegration of the Other, the dissolution of prohibition, and the confusion and angst it creates. Also we witness a growing movement back to dogmatic religion and the emergence of persecuting fathers or small Gods: like the rise of totalitarianism of the laws of the market and rating, and the compulsion to enjoy.  Is there another alternative? Can psychoanalysis deal with these changes in new ways? This paper addresses these issues through clinical observations which show the tangent points of psychoanalysis, and spiritual and religious concepts. Examples include two cases of orthodox Jews, a man and a woman who obeyed the ceremonial aspects of religion to the letter; but there was no presence of god or spiritual experience whatsoever in their discourse. Therefore, they were struggling with broken identity, suffering and cynicism, and lost their defined place in the world. Two others: secular, atheistic man and woman discovered god and its representatives and found a new "name of the father".
