The empires of Han and Gupta have many intellectual differences. The Han dynasty had physicians who developed acupuncture to relieve the pain and treat illnesses. Gupta also used medicine but instead using acupuncture, they used herbal remedies. Han’s are consisted of landscape and portrait paintings while Gupta’s art is associated with Indian religion and philosophy; it’s hard to appreciate it fully unless you have knowledge of an Indian mind. The founder of Gupta was Chandragupta who emphasized Hinduism. Chandragupta expanded the empire and strengthened the kingdom by marrying Kumaradevi, the daughter of the king of Licchavis. Lyu Bang, the founder of Han was non hereditary. He picked able bureaucrats and unlike Gupta, emphasized Confucianism. Arose after Alexander the Great, the Gupta Empire, under Chandragupta, showed the belief of needing to be strong in the face of an outside attack. The Han did not. The Han dynasty was run by police, meaning that people inform the police of peculiar actions of citizens. Gupta lived in fear of assassination. The Han dynasty had many creations. They invented the process to make paper from wood pulp, invented paper, porcelain and the loom. Gupta created the writing system which was later adopted by the Islam Empire (known as Arabic Numerals). Gupta also created the numbers one through nine and the concept of zero. Gupta, from their commercial dealings, made massive profit from their own mines and vast crow lands. The Han empire, exported more products then they were getting. Making money from the Silk Road, Han had a great supply of silk that they would export.

I have lately become interested in yoga because I am just an overworked, over-stressed, and tired person, and I've heard about a lot of health benefits of yoga. But I am also a practicing Protestant Christian; is yoga really wrong for me to do? I've heard that it would be wrong because it is a belief of Hinduism or some other Eastern religions. What do you think?

note: absolutely, positively NO offense towards ANYONE is intended. I'm just wondering about your opinions. I come from a very strict Christian family and I think they would frown upon yoga, meditation, acupuncture, etc. I'm trying to figure out what my position is. Just give me your opinions and I really, really appreciate it.

Pagans and Wiccans which of the following beliefs and practices have you incorporated into your belief system? Are there any others that you practice that are not listed here.?

Monism: All that exists is derived from a single source of divine energy.

Pantheism: All that exists is God; God is all that exists. This leads naturally to the concept of the divinity of the individual, that we are all Gods. They do not seek God as revealed in a sacred text or as exists in a remote heaven; they seek God within the self and throughout the entire universe.

Panentheism: God is all that exists. God is at once the entire universe, and transcends the universe as well.

Polytheism: The Gods are real and separate entities. Groups of gods with a common mythology are worshiped and honored.

Arch Type: The Gods are not real and do not exist, they are simply symbols of energy pools that can aide in spiritual development and spell crafting.

Reincarnation: After death, we are reborn and live another life as a human. This cycle repeats itself many times. This belief is similar to the concept of transmigration of the soul in Hinduism.

Karma: The good and bad deeds that we do adds and subtracts from our accumulated record, our karma. At the end of our life, we are rewarded or punished according to our karma by being reincarnated into either a painful or good new life. This belief is linked to that of reincarnation and is also derived from Hinduism

An Aura is believed to be an energy field radiated by the body. Invisible to most people, it can be detected by some as a shimmering, multi-colored field surrounding the body. Those skilled in detecting and interpreting auras can diagnose an individual's state of mind, and their spiritual and physical health.

Ecological Responsibility: A belief in the importance of uniting to preserve the health of the earth, which is often looked upon as Gaia, (Mother Earth) a living entity.

Channeling A method similar to that used by Spiritists in which a spirit of a long dead individual is conjured up. However, while Spiritists generally believe that one's soul remains relatively unchanged after death, most channelers believe that the soul evolves to higher planes of existence. Chanelers usually try to make contact with a single, spiritually evolved being. That being's consciousness is channeled through the medium and relays guidance and information to the group, through the use of the medium's voice. Channeling has existed since the 1850's and many groups consider themselves independent of the New Age movement. Perhaps the most famous channeling event is the popular A Course in Miracles. It was channeled through a Columbia University psychologist, Dr. Helen Schucman, (1909-1981), over an 8 year period. She was an Atheist, and in no way regarded herself as a New Age believer. However, she took great care in recording accurately the words that she received.

Crystals Crystals are materials which have their molecules arranged in a specific, highly ordered internal pattern. This pattern is reflected in the crystal's external structure which typically has symmetrical planar surfaces. Many common substances, from salt to sugar, from diamonds to quartz form crystals. They can be shaped so that they will vibrate at a specific frequency and are widely used in radio communications and computing devices. New Agers believe that crystals possess healing energy.

Meditating A process of blanking out the mind and releasing oneself from conscious thinking. This is often aided by repetitive chanting of a mantra, or focusing on an object.

Divination The use of various techniques to foretell the future, including I Ching, Pendulum movements, Runes, Scrying, Tarot Cards.

Astrology The belief that the orientation of the planets at the time of one's birth, and the location of that birth predicts the individual's future and personality. Belief in astrology is common amongst New Agers, but definitely not limited to them.
