Often ...I believe that life is a shared experience.<br />Often people are experiencing pain and disease as a result of living within a self-created (or rather self-accepted) box. A box that has been established by default over generations and never challenged or even seen for what it is. They believe that this box is the be all and end all of their life…their possibility for happiness. But in actuality, the box is the exact opposite. <a href="https://dreamsfulfilledcoaching.com" rel="nofollow">coaching for success</a>Donna Ambernathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782842548133943980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547006836120233607.post-48985047233561543752014-04-03T08:39:27.418-07:002014-04-03T08:39:27.418-07:00By off-putting I mean more de facto humanism, that...By off-putting I mean more de facto humanism, that is, when Cardinal d'Este began building his gardens it is hard to believe humanist ideals were sought after from a place of pure motives. While he may have wanted to get closer to God or understand the relationship between nature and God more closely, he had clear priorities that differ from those of humanism. For example, he wanted the papacy for himself, he must have wanted to show off (the enormous water features) and he wanted to chronicle his families power, wealth and history. I suggest that humanism was a justification/rationalization to spend obscene amounts of money in an attempt to perhaps attain "improper" (improper if the goal is humanism) goals. The fact that the true ideological basis of humanism was in a sense weakened through improper motives is what is off-putting to me about humanism. Of course, the above could be said for (unsubstantiated) almost all doctrines and ideologies. To me, what is striking about humanism is the blatant use of money in relation to God: "Let's build a grand garden so we can understand and get closer to God."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061651448161270206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547006836120233607.post-75598421911653065082014-04-03T00:54:15.969-07:002014-04-03T00:54:15.969-07:00what are the off-putting motives behind Renaissanc...what are the off-putting motives behind Renaissance Humanism?

It's very interesting to look at its evolution from the monastic garden and its exemplification of, as you say, "nature...as an ordered creation of God."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
