Hello everyone!
This is my first post, but I hope it won't be my last! I am planning to become a professional english writer of non-fiction and this forum seems to be a great opportunity to learn a great deal about both the craft itself and the technical side of proper language usage. I would like to thank everybody here who spend their free time to help others in their struggles to become a better english speakers. You are doing a great job.
I have just finished writing my next essay for my blog and there are couple of sentences and one whole paragraph which I suspect might be grammatically incorrect. I am from Poland and the biggest problem for me is the syntax, since in my language it is more flexible, but of course I make lots of other mistakes as well. The essay is about the comparison of two religions: Christianity and Hinduism, but I don't think any of the things I wrote should offend anyone. If so, please tell me, and I will either correct or delete it.
Here are the sentences. Thank you in advance for help!
In Ancient Greece philosophy, science, and religion coexisted in peace and harmony, and, for the most part, each could flourish on its own without being interfered by the remaining two.
It (Hinduism) contains many subdivisions which focus around worshipping one of the divinities, although not in the Christian meaning of “having no other gods” before the only and true one, and so the sense of the remaining pantheon is sustained.
Neither of the religions can be explained and understood by the one and only right interpretation. Similarly neither of them promotes a single way of conduct. Within both Christianity and Hinduism we can find various bigger and smaller traditions. In the former examples are Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox, in the latter Shaivism, Vaishnavism, and Shaktism. Nevertheless, each of those branches grows up from the same definitional roots constituting the religion to which it belongs. In other words its essence remains the same. You see, every tree has many branches, which, though different one from another, are built from the same wood. Once you cut it from the ground a new life, made from new wood, has to be born.
Similarly, he is something separate from his invention, which puts him in a superior position over the latter.
The self is both the essence of your being and everything you are surrounded by. It is what is inside and outside you: your ego, feelings, thoughts, and body organs, but also your friends, nationality, place of living, surrounding fauna and flora, and so on.
Since everything is ultimately a reflection of Brahman, all pairs of opposites are only superficially separate. Inherently they are the one and the same thing.
With all that in mind, you put the electronic screen-helmet on your head, and launch your perception to the dimension of digital and unreal.
Being completely immersed in your new personality, you are taken away by its fictional story, believing it to be real.
Reality, with all its cultural artifacts and tears-flooding stories, with its biochemical operas and awe-evoking galactic tremors, is nothing but an illusionary amusement park, dreamed by The God, just so he can forget about his true nature and have a little time to play the very addictive game of existing.
This disparity between the two is based on the division in their understanding of dualism and time.
There is no light without darkness, because to discern light, you need to have darkness you can shine on.
