Exploring the
Essential Spirituality at the core of the
world's great wisdom tradtions in the context of contemporary knowledge.
All authentic spiritual traditions, at their core,
are committed to the common values of peace, tolerance, wisdom, compassionate
service, and love for all creation. Beneath the diversity of theological
beliefs, rites, and observances lies the deeper common ground built
on a clear understanding of authentic spiritual experience. While
there is great value in learning what others believe about the Divine,
it is only on that deeper ground of how we experience this vast presence
of energy and intelligence that we can recognize and embrace one another
as brothers and sisters, and help each other become more fully who
we are.
At One Spirit we draw from the rich heritage of human wisdom to guide
the deep inner work of developing a consciousness worthy of our common
humanity, to support the emergence of humankind’s next level
of conscious evolution. In our families, our communities, our nation,
across the earth, and in each of our hearts the time has come for
us to remember our common identity, and to recognize clearly that
our fate depends on each other. Opening our minds and hearts to this
deeper level of experience informs and guides our inner journey, and
is central to One Spirit’s vision of InterSpiritual education.
Essential Spirituality expresses deep, universal truths about the
human condition, but not as a “one-size-fits-all” endeavor.
Rather, it aims to provide a clear understanding and direct experience
of those truths, within a framework that allows each individual to
develop an inner life that best supports their own growth. Such spirituality
is at home in every circumstance, and expresses itself as inner peace,
wisdom, compassion, and skillful action in all aspects of life.
