Description

In his book The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle makes a remarkable statement concerning religious truth: “When I occasionally quote from A Course in Miracles or from other teachings, I do so not in order to compare, but to draw your attention to the fact that in essence there is and always has been only one spiritual teaching, although it comes in many forms. Some of these forms, such as the ancient religions, have become so overlaid with extraneous matter that their spiritual essence has become almost completely obscured by it. To a large extent, therefore, their deeper meaning is no longer recognized and their transformative power lost. When I quote from the ancient religions or other teachings, it is to reveal their deeper meaning and thereby restore their transformative power—for those who are followers, I say to them: there is no need to go elsewhere for the truth. Let me show you how to go more deeply into what you already have.”

Recognizing the extraneous matter and having courage to prune away its wild branches can be a perplexing step to save one’s faith. Let’s work together to save the truth we already have!
