How was the roman empire system of government similar to many of today's western european governments

The Roman Empire was ruled by an Emperor. BUT, we also saw the first glimpses of a representative republic, in which we vote on candidates to represent us in government. This is what the US has today. You may hear people infer that we are a democracy, or a democratic republic. But this is not true because in a democracy, it is majority wins; much like ancient greece. In our society we are a republic, which comes from democracy. The romans beleived it to be fair so they adopted this form of government from the Greeks (obviously changed a couple things) and they copied many other things from the greeks.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
