SEVEN PRACTICES FOR AWAKENING THE HEART AND MIND":"Thanks to the global communication system, for the first time in history, all religions of the world – their wisdom and their practices-are available to us. Now an unprecedented number of people try practices from a variety of traditions. However, such a wealth of possibilities confuses many, and even overwhelms them with the variety of seemingly contradictory statements and practices. What do different religions have in common?"
"The central poignant theme of eternal philosophy is this: we have always tragically underestimated ourselves. We are sadly mistaken in thinking that we are only temporary bodies, not timeless spirits; individual suffering individuals, not blissful Buddhas; meaningless drops of matter, not God's blessed children.
The words of different traditions differ, but they convey the same message: You are more than you think! Look inside yourself and you will find that your ego is just a tiny drop on the surface of the vast ocean – your true Self. Look inside yourself, and in the very center of your mind, in the depths of your soul, you will find your true Self, you will see that this Self is most closely connected with the divine, and that you also have the infinite bliss of the divine.
How to achieve this discovery of our true identity is the ultimate question of life, and this is where the great religions offer their greatest gift. Each of them contains a set of practices designed to help us achieve this goal. Every tradition offers awakening spiritual practices – whether the precepts and meditations of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the yoga of Hinduism, or the discipline of Taoism."
