Christian Self-Esteem, Page Fourteen, Part One
http://www.gaychristianonline.org/selfest14.html
You are gay. So, what are you going to do about it? Deny it? Hide it? Repress
it? Suppress it? Try to change it? Walk in it in ways that are hurtful? Beat
yourself up about it? Or, celebrate it? Walk in it in all that God desires
for you? Kind of sounds like a choice doesn't it? Yes, in many ways it is.

Ahmad
http://www.allamaiqbal.com/review/apr99/4.htm
In psychological terms, the present relationship between the West and Islam
can be considered one of a mutual growing paranoia. Paranoia is a psychological
condition par excellence about a real or imaginary ‘other’ and is today one
of the few psychopathologies which has not been reduced to a biochemical basis.
... both Islam and the West are entangled in a spectrum of "false beliefs"
spanning feelings of grandeur at one end, and what is infect the inevitable
and logical counterpart of feelings of persecution at the other end.

Psychological
Healing in the Roman Catholic Mystic Tradition
http://chastitysf.guidetopsychology.com/selfhelp.htm
But do you really need a psychologist to teach you how to live a Christian
spiritual life? The truth is, you don’t. Both Saint John of the Cross and
Saint Teresa of Avila had uncanny psychological insight into the workings
of the mind and heart, and yet neither had any formal training in psychology—psychology
as a science didn’t even exist in their time. It just goes to show that genuine
mystic spirituality ultimately leads to accurate psychological insight. And
it also shows that those who write about spirituality while misunderstanding
psychology—as in advocating a desire for happiness and self-fulfillment—don’t
really understand mysticism.
LACK
OF SELF-CONFIDENCE (Buddhism)
http://buddhism.kalachakranet.org/selfconfidence.html
Lack of self-confidence or low self-esteem is not directly defined in the
Buddhist tradition, but it would certainly be classified as a negative emotion
or delusion, as it exaggerates one's limitations in capacity, quality and
potential for growth. Briefly put, every sentient being has the potential
to become a fully perfected Buddha.
Can
prayer get you pregnant? (Divine Intervention).(Brief Article)(Statistical
Data Included)
Author/s: Monique I. Cuvelier. Issue: Jan-Feb, 2002
http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1175/1_35/82261782/p1/article.jhtml
TWO SEPARATE STUDIES REVEAL A SURPRISING CORRELATION between prayer and
conception, on the one hand, and longevity on the other. A team from Columbia
University was amazed to discover that prayer appeared to double the chances
of pregnancy in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization treatments. Women
who were prayed for had a 50 percent pregnancy rate, compared with a 26 percent
success rate among those for whom no one prayed.
SANCTIFICATION
AND SELFHOOD:
A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE WESLEYAN MESSAGE
Rob L. Staples, Th. D.
http://wesley.nnu.edu/WesleyanTheology/theojrnl/06-10/07-1.htm
Not only the sub- stance of sanctification, but the structure as well,
can be found in the Scriptures-providing we approach the Scriptures with an
understanding of what it is we are seeking there. The Scriptures are not silent
(as Wesley wrongly supposed) regarding the structure. On this point, biblical
exegesis and "phenomenological analysis" concur.
The
Gnostic World View: A Brief Summary of Gnosticism
http://www.webcom.com/gnosis/gnintro.htm
GNOSTICISM IS THE TEACHING based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence
arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. Although Gnosticism thus rests
on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience
results in Gnostic recognitions. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism
expresses a specific religious experience, an experience that does not lend
itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which is instead closely
affinitized to, and expresses itself through, the medium of myth. Indeed,
one finds that most Gnostic scriptures take the forms of myths. The term “myth”
should not here be taken to mean “stories that are not true”, but rather,
that the truths embodied in these myths are of a different order from the
dogmas of theology or the statements of philosophy.
