Interspirituality

Life is a journey which starts at home.
- Charles Handy

Interspirituality is a growing movement, which is concerned with looking at similarities in global faiths and spiritual practices instead of their differences. How I perceive the world is profoundly affected by the lessons I learned as a child. My mother a German Catholic met my father a Jewish Holocaust survivor after the war. I was not as much intrigued by examining the practices of other religions as I was interested in the presence of something greater than myself. When I enter a Christian Church, a Jewish Synagogue, or a Muslim Temple I only seen one altar. The presence that connects us all is there inside me, no matter what church I pray in. Any of the world’s faiths see the alignment with a larger source worth striving for. Every loving thought heightens our capacity to be connected to this source greater than our individual selves.

Don’t aim at success- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued: it must ensue....as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.
