  1. Oceanic feeling

    about the psychological term the album Oceanic Feeling album Oceanic feeling is a psychological term coined by Romain Rolland and popularized by Sigmund Freud in his books The Future of An Illusion and Civilization and Its Discontents to criticize the psychological feeling of religion, the oceanic feeling of limitlessness. According to Rolland s definition of the term, this feeling is the source of all religious energy which permeates in various religious systems. It is a sensation of an indissoluble bond, as of being connected with the external world in its integral form. ref Emotions in the Christian Tradition Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy http plato.stanford.edu entries emotion Christian tradition ref This feeling is an entirely subjective fact and is not an article of faith. Rolland s view is that one may justifiably call oneself religious on the basis of this oceanic feeling alone, regardless if the adherent renounces every belief and every illusion. ref The Ontology of Religiosity The Oceanic Feeling and the Value of the Lived Experience ref On the other hand, Freud cannot sympathize with such feeling since he admits he cannot find it in himself. It is not easy, he says, to analyze emotions scientifically.

The mesopelagic disphotic zone, where only small amounts of light penetrate, lies below the epipelagic zone. This zone is often referred to at the Twilight Zone due to its scarce amount of light. Temperatures in the mesopelagic zone range from convert 5 to 4 C F .

Specifically it refers to the works of the two groups of people that settled the area, though during two different periods. They would in time however, come to interact and together reach even more remote islands. The area is often broken down into four separate regions Polynesia , Micronesia , Australia, and Melanesia . The former two share a common ancestral culture of the Lapita , while the latter two comprise settlers of the first wave of people into the area. All of the regions in later times would be greatly affected by Western influence and colonization. In more recent times, the people of Oceania have found a greater appreciation of their region s artistic heritage. The artistic creations of these people varies greatly throughout the cultures and regions. The subject matter typically carries themes of fertility or the supernatural.
