Happy Science Seminar at Intercontinental Hotel Tampa
October 28, 2009 from 7pm to 9pm
Just a note from my friends over at Happy Science of Florida. They'll be having a special seminar by Mr. Yuki Oikawa, CEO of Happy Science USA titled "Spirituality : The Real Secret of Success: A Meditation For Prosperity & Happiness from 'The Livin…
I accidentally found this almost immediately after writing that response, and in the opening paragraph is a link to the history of the Holy Trinity:

woops I meant Peter II not Mark II.
this totally reminds me of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita_Vedanta
where Atman (the self), Ishvara (God in deity form), and Brahman (Infinite, One, The one without a second) are all different levels of perceiving Brahman, and Brahman is the on…
I'd be willing to go for it, depending on time and activity.
Singing sounds fun, just as a thought :).
First, I like Alan's though and Maggie's idea that the Trinity may have come from older beliefs.

Understanding religions problem: The Trinity
For about the last 3 months, I've been visiting a different religion every week (or more, it seems). But there's one concept I'm just not getting.
The whole "Trinity" concept. Nearly every Christian religion I've talked to (Baptist, Catholic, Orthodox, etc) has mentioned this idea of "three in one", based on The Nicene Creed:

Just got back from the Orthodox Church in Dover
I'll make a full blog post about it later (though I just finished writing about my experience at the Buddhist Katsel Dharma Center.
I really enjoyed my time with the members of the Orthodox church. Father Harry was very cordial, and the people were incredibly friendly and gracious.
I'll be heading out to the Madinatul Ilm Islamic Center this Saturday - guess I should add that as an event, right? The Madinatul Ilm center is Shia Islam, and I'm r… Continue

Protestor's at Islamic Center
This is just uncool - people standing outside a local Tampa mosque denouncing Islam.
That's right - celebrate the value of "freedom of religion" by - denouncing someone else's religion. Tell you what - when we're out of homeless people to feed and sick people to heal, then we can complain about other people's religion.
And this is why I'm doing my project. This kind of thing just torq… Continue
