  • OASIS San Diego  The Wisdom of Empathy  Class No. 1149 (In-Person La Mesa)  If empathy is the ability to understand and feel the feelings of another, how is it different from sympathy? Is empathy innate or is it learned? Was our capacity for empathy selected by Darwinian evolution as a desirable trait that enhances our survival? Or was empathy built into human nature by a benevolent Creator? Why do some people seem to have so little of it, while others effuse empathy through their every pore? What role does the consciousness of empathy play in the establishment of moral norms, and even our political stances? And what’s up with Narcissists and psychopaths? Join us for this fascinating and timely investigation into the nature of empathy.  san-diego.oasisnet.org + Classes + Search 1149

  • OASIS EVERYWHERE  History of the Bible: The Old Testament (Zoom)  During the 18th century, Historical Criticism or Higher Criticism emerged as an academic discipline, initially focusing on biblical studies and raising numerous inquiries about the text. The Old Testament books span a period from 1400 to 400 BC, covering a span of 1,000 years. Questions arose about the authorship and timing of the Hebrew Bible books. The development of the canon of Hebrew scriptures occurred in stages, prompting further exploration into who determined the inclusion and placement of these texts in the canon. store.oasiseverywhere.org/+ history of the bible

Class No. 1324 (In-Person La Mesa)  Many times, you are not aware that your behavior may be self-sabotaging your efforts or desires when you want to move forward.  You may have heard the phrase that “you are your own worst enemy.”  Come and explore what self-sabotage behavior is and how you can overcome it. You will learn how to create new habits and behaviors that will empower you. Self-Sabotage takes many forms.   The Great Philosophers: Kierkegaard Class No. 2209 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo)  Any discussion of Existentialism begins with Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). Weary to his bones of the pointless and ineffectual ramblings of Western philosophy, Kierkegaard turns his incisive gaze on the subjective, personal realm. The meaning of life cannot be explained by grand and allegedly objective metaphysical systems—it is only to be found in the subjective details of our own personal choices and actions. Watch how Kierkegaard explodes the malaise and superficiality of 19th century European culture and sets into motion the intellectual revolution of Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, and all who follow him.  san-diego.oasisnet.org + Classes + Search 1341, 1355, 1324, 2209
