Here is a brief quote from my e-book: <br /><br />Mysticism seeks to join, or unite, our inner self with the divine by spiritual disciplines of devotion, knowledge, selfless service, and/or meditation. What you do matters greatly to what you will become: that is divine justice. How you do it, through Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, or outside these faiths is important when it is the right way for you: that is divine law. <i>One is Truth</i>: true Reality transcends the boundaries of our beliefs. <i>Thou art That</i>: you are in the divine essence; you must be dedicated to fully realizing it. <br /><br />Our religion may be right for us, nevertheless that does not mean billions of others are wrong. What of the 100 billion people who lived outside of our faith since the origin of our species? Religions do differ in approach, beliefs and practices, although the divine Reality they seek is the same. Their mystics used the words and concepts understood by followers of their faith, but these are just alternate ways of trying to express the One underlying Truth. <br /><br />[Note: For mysticism in the Mahayana replace <i>the divine</i> with the Dharmakaya]Ron Krumposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371279514024960026noreply@blogger.com
