Enlightenment Movement (Afghanistan)
The Enlightenment Movement or Junbesh-e Roshnayi () is a grassroots civil disobedience movement of Hazaras created in 2016 in Afghanistan in response to the Afghan government's change in routing plans for proposed international electricity networking, which was perceived as continuing historical anti-Hazara discrimination.

Dark Enlightenment
The Dark Enlightenment, also called the neo-reactionary movement (abbreviated to NRx), is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, and reactionary philosophical and political movement. A reaction against Enlightenment values, it favors a return to traditional societal constructs and forms of government such as absolute monarchism and cameralism. Influenced by libertarianism, the movement advocates for authoritarian capitalist city-states which compete for citizens. Neoreactionaries refer to contemporary liberal society and institutions which they oppose as 'the Cathedral', associating them with the Puritan church, and their goals of egalitarianism and democracy as "the Synopsis". They claim that the Cathedral influences public discourse to promote progressivism and political correctness, which they view as a threat to Western civilization. The movement also espouses scientific racism, a pseudoscientific view which they claim is suppressed by the Cathedral. Curtis Yarvin beg ...

Enlightenment (Van Morrison Song)
"Enlightenment" is a single written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1990 album '' Enlightenment''. The song was also included on the 1993 compilation album '' The Best of Van Morrison Volume Two''. Biographer Brian Hinton comments "'Enlightenment' is actually the opposite of what it sounds: it is full of doubt, not affirmation. 'I'm meditating and still I'm suffering.' He seems to be saying everything is a state of mind, you can choose to live in heaven or hell." In a Rolling Stone review, John Swenson writes that the album ''Enlightenment'' is a sequel to Avalon Sunset and enables Morrison to have a new start (musically and spiritually). "Morrison is so pleased with his new start that he can even poke fun at his quest on the title track. 'I'm in the here and now and I'm meditating/And still I'm suffering but that's my problem,' he sings. 'Enlightenment, don't know what it is' – and he doesn't sound disturbed at all."

Richard Cook and Brian Morton, authors of ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'', opine that ''Enlightenment'' and the 1974 live album '' Atlantis'' are "two huge, sprawling concert recordings which will drain most listeners: Tyner's piano outpourings seem unstoppable, and Lawrence comes on as an even fierier spirit than onnyFortune, even if both are in thrall to Coltrane. The ''Enlightenment'' set, cut at Montreux, is marginally superior, if only for the pile-driving 'Walk Spirit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
