a religion of India that teaches a path to spiritual purity and enlightenment through a disciplined mode of life founded upon the tradition of ahimsa, nonviolence to all living creatures. Beginning in the 7th–5th century BCE, Jainism evolved into a cultural system that has made significant contributions to Indian philosophy and logic, art and architecture, mathematics, astronomy and astrology, and literature. Along with Hinduism and Buddhism, it is one of the three most ancient Indian religious traditions still in existence.

A U.S. psychologist and philosopher, James served as president of American Psychological Association, and wrote one of the first psychology textbooks. In the psychology of religion, James's influence endures. His Varieties of Religious Experience is considered to be the classic work in the field, and is worth reading by anyone who is interested in psychology and religion. Indeed, references to James's ideas are common at professional conferences. It reminds me of the saying, "to learn a new idea, read an old book."

James distinguished between institutional religion and personal religion. Institutional religion refers to the religious group or organization, and plays an important part in a society's culture. Personal religion, in which the individual has a mystical experience, can be experienced regardless of the culture. James was most interested in understanding personal religious experience.

If personal religious experiences were what James preferred, dogmatism was something that he disliked. Dogmatic thought, whether religious or scientific, was anathema to James. The importance of James to the psychology of religion--and to psychology more generally--is difficult to overstate. He discussed many essential issues that remain of vital concern today.

Jasmuheen, a 42-year-old Australian woman whose real name is Ellen Greve, claims to have been living on herbal tea, juice and the occasional biscuit since 1993 after being told to change her life by her spiritual mentor, St Germain.

Her philosophy, explained in her book Living on Light, is based on "breatharianism" – a concept which promotes living on light and almost entirely without food and liquids.

Several of followers of her philosophy have died, and Jasmuheen herself has been exposed as a fraud.

Some of the differences among the three major movements of Judaism: Orthodox, Conservative and Reform

ORTHODOX: Generally entails a traditional level of observance of Jewish laws, including the Sabbath, eating a kosher diet and praying three times a day. Men and women sit apart in synagogue. Hebrew is heavily used.

CONSERVATIVE: The level of observance tends to vary from synagogue to synagogue, but in general, Hebrew and English are both used. The movement generally advocates observance of the Sabbath and the laws of keeping kosher. Men and women sit together in synagogue, and there has been a strong movement toward equality in religious practice.

REFORM: Considered the most liberal. Women have religious equality. Historically, the reform movement has tended to adhere less strictly to the observances but retains much of the values and ethics of Judaism.
