Welcome to our section on:
A "Universal Approach" to Spirituality
In this section of the website we approach spirituality from a "universal" viewpoint that assumes that:
#1. GOD is real. And GOD is all loving, all knowing, and all powerful.
#2. There is only one GOD. Different cultures and religions may call GOD by different names, and explain and describe God in different ways. But, in reality it's all the same: one GOD. (In other words, it doesn't matter whether we call this Benevolent Universal Presence: "GOD"; our Creator; the Infinite Buddha Nature; our Divine Mother; the Tao; Brahman; the Source; Jehovah; the Great Spirit; Allah; the Great I AM; Paramatma; the Great Mystery; the Supreme Being; our Mother-Father GOD; or whatever - it's all the same wonderful all-knowing, all-loving Divine Presence.)
#3. The Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, and other great spiritual teachers were all basically teaching the same core spiritual truths. Many times their teachings appeared to be different, because they used the unique words and concepts that were appropriate for those particular cultures at those particular times in history. (Of course, each of them also brought forth new unique teachings for humanity.)
#4. The Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Quan Yin, Saint Germain, the Goddess of Wisdom, and other great spiritual teachers have a deep brotherly-sisterly love for each other, and are all closely and happily working together for the upliftment of humanity, and would like us to do the same.
#5. It is a blessing to try to understand GOD and spiritual teachings in the simplest, purest, most universal ways - ways that most religions and spiritual paths already share in common. These spiritual truths include the following beliefs: there's a Divine Purpose to life; the importance of being kind, caring and compassionate towards others; and the reality of life after death, heavenly realms, angels, and other divine beings.
It may be helpful to illustrate the "Universal Approach"
with the following analogy:
We're All Climbing the Same Mountain!
It is as though we are all climbing the exact same huge mountain, but we're simply using different paths. So from the point of view of the pilgrims of varying faiths each religion seems to be a unique path with different goals, destinations and purposes. But what they don't realize is 
that the higher they go up this divine mountain and the more infused they become with GOD's Divine Mind, the more similar all these "seemingly separate" paths gradually become. And, even more importantly, when they eventually reach the top, each person will arrive at the exact same divine destination and blissfully merge with the same Divine Reality. Then they will continue with their spiritual growth in the Higher Realms as Eternal Beings of Light - ever growing in the unending spiral of spiritual evolution as universal Sisters and Brothers of Light seeing the Oneness of all Life.
In summary, the "Universal Approach" acknowledges that there is one spiritual reality that pervades all life, all matter, and all energy throughout the universe in all realms. It is the same transcendent, loving, caring, all-knowing Universal Divine Presence, essence, consciousness and reality. But people tend to interpret and describe it in their own unique ways based on their upbringings, cultural norms, traditions and religious expectations. But it is still the one same reality. As mentioned, we can call this universal spiritual reality: GOD, our Divine Mother, the Great Spirit, the Infinite Buddha Nature, Brahman, 
Allah, our Mother-Father GOD, our Divine Father, the Light, the Source, etc. For convenience, in this website, we will usually refer to this Universal Divine Presence as "GOD" or "our Mother-Father GOD".
It doesn't really matter what we call GOD. What matters is how we interact with GOD. Do we invite this universal spiritual intelligence into our hearts and minds to inspire and guide us in our day-to-day living and devotion? Do we pray to GOD? Pour love and devotion to this Divine Presence? Intune to it? Merge with it in meditation? Do we value it? Revere it? Adore it? Contemplate it? Do we ask GOD to pour loving kindness through us in everything we think, feel, say and do? That is what determines how we experience its reality within and around us.
