For centuries, human being fork out clung to the practices as intimately as, believes encompassing the uncanny phenomena.The superstitious traditions have continued ever since time immemorial even after pieces of evidence being produced by the work of science to explain what was in the historic considered super rude(a). Superstitious rituals dating behind in the middle ages be still witnessed in practice today. However, the merciful of things in superstition like hitting on wood or having a horse shoe hanged at the door did not exhale yet like that.They were taken with great significance and were presupposed to have variant consequences. Superstition, ad is denoted by the dictionary, thesaurus and oxford, is excessively, credulous imprint and reverence for the supernatural. The belief was in no other time greater and excessive as in the middle age periods where a simple blow on your face could send you to unkn consume destination, a simple sneeze could take nearlyones life, and witches apply broomsticks to fly roughly at night as considerably as conjuring spells were done by Jewish sorcerers.The mysterious mickle in those ancient periods, were put forth by the imaginations of our descendants. In these times, in front science had its roots, simple happening were described as mysterious and supernatural. For instance, a simple shadow cast, probably at midnight during moonlight would be considered as a persons reflection of their soul. Sounds at night were considered to be from ghosts and genies and this instilled lots of vexation to the generation of the time.There was the personification of natural phenomena in those days. The purpose of this paper is to discover the roots of the uncanny superstition, the beneficial use of it if any to wad, the consequences and instances, why was it used and who were using it, the power of the this preternat ural phenomenal, the various beliefs among others. The roots of superstitionSuperstition as far as we are concerned is said to have been there from the beginning of mankind.Theories have been put forward to explain this unnatural phenomenon. Firstly, it is musical theme that superstition comes when a persons inclination is beyond their ability in what is called the implorative desire or mind. For instance, if a person is in dire need of a car or money and he or she has no convey of obtaining it but then hears of an available psychic or witch someplace who could make it possible for them to get what they motiveed without any struggles.This will lastly drive him or her to the psychic or the witch due(p) to the toughened desire and need. Secondly, a fearful mind is besides said to be a root of superstition. For instance, a family that has experience consecutive death of their relations would have some form of fear that would drive them to seek some wizards incumbrance for why has it been that there has been the same sweat of death for all the relative of theirs. More stories such(prenominal) as this of repetitious and mysterious causes often results into some form of superstition.As human beings, each and every one of us has their own fears as surface as wishes. If the two happen to embody then it eventually and likely to lead to superstition unless there is some form of holy intervention in a person. No thing how a person may appear educated, if the mind is filled with a fear and wishes that are beyond their abilities then definitely they would fail superstitious. It is natural that part of humans is filled with fear and greed, thusly, on their search for felicity and peace people tend to be reliant on their dogged side, the superstitious power.The law of Cause and EffectThis is consider to be the law of virtue as well as natural concept that people do rarely think about. It is human nature that human beings eternally want to have the consequen ce that are disproportionate with the source like want for something big outside their reach. Absence of self-confidence, uncontrollable wishes, as well as, worries are all what will make people become superstitious.People ought to pick up that its their whole kit and boodle that cause all effect whether successful or not, sufficient or poor, any bad or faithful. Also they should understand no effect is coincidental, from nowhere, it takes diligence and clear mind to achieve. If we make undecomposed deeds then the end result is good if we make our deeds bad then there would be no good at the end of it all and such leads to superstitious being.The superstition explicitly or implicitly affirms a particular causative connection without comprehending any explanation of it workings. A candidate at an examination, who fails to express confidence because it would bring a misfortune does not know of the ways by which, the curse would take effect. It is worth noting that all things in life whether nice or wicked are not merely existent but comes from a cause that we made before (Kim 641-658).Therefore, there is need for good causes in all our endeavors. The law of cause and effect varies from the current to the future life hence is not exactly an ordinary discipline of study. The big idiom is that we should proudly as well as, courageously, accept the consequences of our deeds whether they are good or bad without any form of grief, fear or worries because they are what we have sown from the beginning. If we make the cause then even the effect is our end result as well and we should learnt to be obligated of our own self.There is the aim to die hard bright and rulingful firearm making decision which is the cause so as we prepare for the best effects new-fangledr that would be scant(p) to accept. By understanding and making believe in the law of cause as well as, effect, we take control of our cause for the upcoming effect. We also make sure that we remain so thoughtful and smart while making our decisions. We are also encourage to come about our greed and fear thought in control as well, for us to be responsible for our deeds.Our superstitious MindA lot of people can attest to have always had their lives threatened at some by the scare warning they were used to hear people say. Things like try as much to block encounters with b overleap cats at night, dont go under those sheds of trees or cabins at during late hours, every 13th day coinciding with Friday is a bad lack and so forth. Well, the fact is many a(prenominal) believed this to be true and had really avoided such encounters and locked themselves in their houses just to make sure such myth are not part of their happenstances.It is said that, these beliefs could happen too those who really and really believe them to be true and the same is not the case for those who takes them as a mere scare (Vyse 467). However, some of these myth posed a positive effect to the people becau se they suspensor to shape their behaviors, this is to say, and not all of these superstitious were negative. It was a way to make the mind believe on the wrongs to be avoided and the rights to be done.Nevertheless, there are so many cultures around the world that have hold on to these beliefs to date. are there authorized things that make people to hold on to these beliefs? If yes, how do they perceive them? Are they really things they should hold on? And so forth. There are so many questions that would need answers that would be difficult to find, if we tried get into this and dig up deeply. There are several and various extents of superstitions in the world we live in, that we keep hearing of.In this extent, superstitions themselves can be from the smallest actions like people in a casino using simple trick to win money, and other actions that people certainly do to make them avoid rachis lack and increase their chances of getting what they want, to some big forms like vani sh from sight of audiences. So whether, trying to win, or wearing a lucky scarf and getting out of sight, all these can be considered to be superstitious things because they can never be performed by a form human being. creation mindful of what we do is a good way to avoiding unwanted consequences in future. A good human being, is one who learns from their past mistakes to make their future a snap off one than where they are from. The cause and effect is very friendful subject to understand and make good out of it.Three Doors to Freedom from Superstitious MindsHow can we teach ourselves to be bump from thought that might be superstitious?Here are fail ways to make our intentions right. First we need to understand the doors to our freedom. The emptiness is the first, having no desires is the second and the last is formlessness. Anyone who grasps these situations will have the intelligence see the real truth about every aspect in human existences.These assume no arrangements beca use they are comprised of combination of various casual features. Based on cause all beings are called hollowness because of their illusory nature. If they have strong-arm systems, then there is no blending. People ought to try and discover the genuine form in the make-up. The professional have specified that it compromises of four components, air, the earth, and fire, as well as, water. Therefore, missing either of them, would degenerate the body.And when either of them is the controlling or in other words, the dominant portion, our bodies become functionless. Another issue would be how they can be in line when there is a sizable amount of conflict between them? We therefore got the obligation balance them by having the right foods. Which of the considerations is the overriding in our heads? (Patil 411). It is the beliefs that we hold that give rise to either desirable or the undesirable natures that affect how we involve ourselves in the ways that are not permissive.The three do ors emphasized by the theory is the one good way that when observed would allow us to avoid all the thing that pre-occupy of heads with dirty stuffs which shifts our rightful cerebration. The way we carry our burdens in our mind, by this is to mean the things that distract us in our everyday life determines how we drop by the wayside them back out to other people. A mind that keeps on wish without coordinating the body to work hard will always have superstitious thoughts to fulfill the wishes.All said and done, the next thing that can influence our thought to be evil are the people we keep around us. If we have friends who keep suggesting negative motives like stealing, fighting, causing topsy-turvydom then we would always be driven to the dark side of thoughts. We therefore have to be very mindful of the close people we have because we never know there intentions towards us.Just as earlier mentioned, the big emphasis is that we should proudly as well as, courageously, accept th e consequences of our deeds whether they are good or bad without any form of grief, fear or worries because they are what we have sown from the beginning.If we make the cause then even the effect is our end result as well and we should learnt to be responsible of our own selfThe Power of SuperstitionThe phenomenon has been seen to cause more harm than good. Magician who have taken the upfront to using superstition are very capable of doing wild stuffs that are very destructive. For instance, we see them in our television performing shuddery of event that leave us holding our mouths.Imagine if such a person decides to go bad, what harm they would be capable of. aSuperstition in Julius CaesarIn some ancient days, superstition was a significant perception in the Roman times, as it was the fueling force in uncountable actions of the people at the time. To them it was considered a historical believe. The phenomenon was seen as a strengthening factor with their gods. This is well broug ht up by a play by Shakespeare called Julius Caesar, named after the great formula of the Romans at the time.Superstition is used in the play repeatedly to foreshadow the death of the ruler by his friend Brutus who eventually as well, despatchs himself due to conscious guilt. Shakespeare expresses the awareness that many people tried to get the ameliorate of what the future held, such as ill-fated events, by being superstitious. This is exceptionally prominent in Julius Caesar, as it effects the day to day rule-governed daily life of the Roman citizens.From ghosts to half-naked and thonged men, nearly every individual had to circularise with the uncanny, a mission that many seemed to take as life changing. In Julius Caesar, superstitious motives within the characters change their choices concerning life, revenge, and death (Beckett 17).This was a time in Roman when sex was a glorification and unfertile women would sought help to be able to procreate while, the fertile ones sou ght more children by use of superstition.We see from the story that Caesar is approached by an old man by the name of Soothsayer who warns him of his coming death by the ides of March, through forecasting but Caesar ignores that by saying he is a dreamer and just as foretold, he is stubbed to death with among them being Brutus, close friend to him. Being a good friend to Caesar, Brutus was blindly lured by Cassius to plot to kill him which they did. Later on, a ghost of Caesar appears to Brutus assuring him that they would meet. Due to this form of superstition, Brutus thought he was meant to die and he took his own life as a result.All This are all instances of superstitions at the time. It also shows how significantly superstition changed the actions of the characters together with how it affected their lives (Chibnall & McFarlane 252).Superstition as a Survival MechanismAs long as superstition is regarded to be involving dark magic and mysterious power it has been of return to others mostly in the ancient days where it was used for protection and warranter to guard against possible enemies. As depicted in various movies and films today, the same was the case though not as exaggerated as such.A lot of people use some ritual emulate to help them do better in what they are working on. They feel that it gives them a boost to motivate them and increase their confidences. Personal superstitious way of thinking is another mechanisms people use to think in some manner that prepares someone to get defense from displeasure, heartbreaks and disappointment. In this regard, the old traditions and cultures use superstitious powers to guard their communities from attack.Possible attackers may never locate their allies in their attempt for an attack also, the same was use by witches to escape when they become hunted down. They would either disappear or make their enemies lose vestige of them by somehow using their black magic on them and as a result they would be safe. However, due to human nature, some of this was used in the wrong way like making people satisfy for no good reason. Also some would use their so called super powers to steal from other without having being notice thereby causing going of property. Those who have been said to use the phenomenon as a means to hold up have also been using it to influence factors to their benefit.If for instance, a bank is demanding allowance from such people and they dont have any cash to settle out the loans, they would use paper and make these look like real money then give it to the former who might not even notice. This is just to emphasize that magic and superstition go strain in hand and whatever reason it is used for then there can never be the right form of it because it has had more bad than goodConclusionIn conclusion, this phenomenon called superstition is an influence that is destructive in our society, which, has twisted many people who are broken and nervous, lack of self-confidenc e, and have a dull thoughts as well as, evil mind.To wish for a healthy society, we cant accept superstition. We have a concern to spread and share the good teachings about self-confidence, of self-emancipation as well as, clarification. So how can we be superstitious? Though, there are many people who will suggest their groups to seek Gods interventions when they have problems of any nature. It doesnt matter how many problems there are, there will always be a better way to solve them all.
