A. Let us Study
* Elements of Religion
1. Reflects an effort to elevate your whole self to a higher dimension of existence –We are only a small
fragment of our totality. We are apprised by the fact that we have a Higher SELF or an ‘I AM Presence,’
(because God created us based on His own image) who resides in planes beyond our level of
consciousness, who serve us as our guardian angel, adviser-teacher, and our benefactor.
2. Aframework of transcendent beliefs –belief in a divine being or power, which is greater than
humankindand the natural world. This being or power is believed to be responsible for the creation of
the world, for providing a moral framework for human life and being the ultimate destiny of a human
person at the end of their mortal life. The three Semitic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
emphasize the idea of God being revealed to humankind from beyond the human spirit.
3.Text or scriptures –(Holy Bible, Koran) The most important beliefs of a religion are contained in its
sacred texts. Usually,these beliefs were in oral circulation before they were written down in the sacred
texts. These sacred texts contain sacred stories, which explain through historical or non-historical
means, how people are connected to this supernatural dimension
4.Rituals –Rituals and ceremonies are practical expressions of aspects of a religion. Rituals and
ceremonies involve prescribed words and actions along with the use of symbols. Together these reflect
an understanding of the sacred dimension. Thus, rituals and ceremonies help to lead to a greater
understanding of the ultimate reality
