Within the Brahma Kumaris movement, the term "Advance Party" is also used for the group of deceased Brahma Kumaris followers who they claim reincarnate back into the world at this time in order to physically prepare the paradisical heaven on earth, called the Golden Age. The breakaway group's use of the name is seen within the BKWSU as impertinent and they therefore refer to them as the 'Shankar Party'.

The centre of it is Parque de María Luisa, a 'Moorish paradisical style' with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and exhedras. There are lush plantings of palms, orange trees, Mediterranean pines, and stylized flower beds with bowers hidden by vines. The park serves as a botanical garden.

Ottoman illustrator Muhammad ibn Muhammad Shakir Ruzmah-'i Nathani The palm is richly significant in Islamic culture, and the palm symbolizes rest and hospitality in many cultures of the Middle East.

This radical group, active in the area of the Rhine and the Netherlands, strove for a form of spirituality immune from sin even in the flesh, and imbued the concept of lust with a paradisical innocence.Grange books, 37 Fränger believed The Garden of Earthly Delights was commissioned by the order's Grand Master. Later critics have agreed that, because of their obscure complexity, Bosch's "altarpieces" may well have been commissioned for non-devotional purposes. The Homines intelligentia cult sought to regain the innocent sexuality enjoyed by Adam and Eve before the Fall.

Mircea Eliade has suggested that in many pre-modern cultures one finds the concept of the Fall and a "nostalgia for paradise". However, for those cultures that have a cyclic cosmology, the concept of a progressive deterioration of the universe (as in the Hesiodic, Hindu, and Lurianic cosmologies of a degradation from a Golden Age to an Iron Age or Kali Yuga) might be balanced by a corresponding ascent to more spiritual stages and a return to paradisical conditions. This is what one finds in Buddhist and especially Jain cosmologies.

For three weeks of dreams, the solicitor is present at the collapse of the paradisical island of Capri and the future world, while war draws closer and flights of military aircraft are described flying overhead.

Modern religions are divided as to whether or not non-human animals are believed to have souls, the ability to reincarnate, and whether animals will exist in the afterlife. In the absence of a common religious belief, many pet owners have embraced the concept of the Rainbow Bridge. The concept, the origin of which is not clearly known, speaks of a metaphorical or mythical place of reunion where pets that die live in a paradisical version of limbo, rejuvenated and free of pain and suffering, until their companion humans arrive upon their deaths.Planet Cat: A CAT-alog by Sandra Choron, Harry Choron, Arden Moore, p.

It would explain why Divković had such great success and became so popular within Croatian circles that only Andrija Kačić Miošić could supersede him. While the other Counter-Reformers went along with the times, using rationalism to lure people, Divković went back to the Middle Ages to attract his public. His retelling of the biblical stories and ancient legends exemplify medieval imagination: Divković's didactic prose is saturated with fiery images of hell and purgatory for sinners and paradisical bliss for the just; also, his sermons abound with the tales of the miraculous and the supernatural. Divković and his style had been largely followed by Croatian writers, who all contributed to the eventual victory of the Štokavian dialect in Croatian literature.

Only half the book is devoted to the main plotline dealing with Spock, Kirk, McCoy, Sarek, Amanda, and T'Pring, with the remaining chapters retelling important scenes from the history of Vulcan. The "Vulcan chapters" chronicle the evolution of the Vulcan species from gentle forest- dwellers on a paradisical planet through the solar flare that decimated it and turned it into the desert it is known as in Star Trek continuity, to an incredibly warlike species slowly developing psychic powers through genetics and social breeding programs, through the development of space age technology, to the teaching and adoption of "cthia" (loosely translated as "reality- truth") by Surak as a unifying philosophy that ends millennia of war by the Vulcan race. These chapters conclude with the initial meeting of Sarek and Amanda Grayson and their decision to bear and raise Spock. The book is also notable for an understanding of actual scientific principles that many of the future technologies described in the book would have to implement, such as principles of linguistics, particle physics, and artificial intelligence.
