The purpose of this website is to introduce readers to a point of view that I feel is very necessary in today's world. I have spent years studying spiritual development. Amidst all the chaos and confusion about whether to believe in religion or not, about the differences among all the religions, about which values are best, about who is right in politics, or just about anything,
...the answer is really very simple:
That which unites and includes is good/desirable/spiritually mature/leads us forward developmentally and contributes to our own greater fulfillment.
That which divides or separates is bad/undesirable/spiritually immature/leads us backward and contributes to our own misery and despair.
