The Essence of Faiths

Whispers from everywhere

Egypt's White Desert

The brief articles in this collection are from many sources but, in their different ways, they say the same thing. Lao Tzu, Gautama, Shankara, Bodhidharma, Hui Neng, St Augustine, Meister Eckhart, Thomas a Kempis, and many nameless spiritual heroes have, through compassion, tried to put words on that state of interpenetrating Oneness which exists beyond the grasp of language.

The articles do not form a logical sequence. They may be plucked at random. Suck them and see. If they result in your reflecting on your 'self' and becoming more aware of what you notice and how you think - then they will have served their purpose.
