Blurb for Perennial Wisdom summer course

'The Universal Perennial Wisdom' – a joyous celebration of poetry, music and ideas.

Some truths pass - like fashion. Some truths are eternal; they are called Perennial Wisdom.

Perennial Wisdom includes the essential structure of our spirituality and how we function as human beings. By another name that's mysticism' - the heart of religion.
One definition of mysticism is, 'direct experience of ultimate reality'.

When mysticism is shifted from the centre, religion becomes an empty shell. Great mystics include Rumi, Hildegard of Bingen, Abraham Joshua Heschel and many others. What about a modern teacher such as Eckhart Tolle?

Without an active relationship with Perennial Wisdom we, in any age, become lost in a wasteland.

'Universalism' = the realization of oneness - in the light of such teachings as Ghandi's, "God has no religion." He also said when asked if he was a Hindu, "Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew." It is the realization that through the ages humankind, the Holy Spirit and 'God' have always been one, as in; "This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future." - Baha'u'llah (Gleanings LXX)

Unless we understand our practice we cannot practice our understanding.
