  Religions -- Unity in Diversity

Truth is greater than any religion

The differences in the teachings of the various religions are due
largely to the inevitable spread and adoption over time of degraded
and corrupted versions of the teachings in place of the original.
Subsequent followers and students not being of the same high order as
their Prophets, their understanding was less than perfect.
Consequently, as they passed on to the succeeding students their
flawed interpretations, the original and true divine teachings were
effectively replaced or obscured. Further, aggravated by differences
in language and culture caused by a lack of communication between the
various peoples of the world, sad but true, misinformation and
confusion is now pervasive and widespread.

However, with increased communication and racial integration, and as
everyone of us continues to push forward in our development, all these
differences will eventually be resolved and the real teachings will
reemerge and come together, united in the One Truth.

Actually, the "wheel of life" is not taught as a religious
preconception. What is taught is that until one attains enlightenment we
are bound to this plane of existence to continue to try to obtain it.
Enlightenment is NOT Nirvana. It is a state where one knows their proper
place within the universe. What is taught is that Karma is the ebb and
flow of energy of the universe. When one places positive energy around
them they attract more positive energy about them. Thus the embodiment
of the eightfold path will lead to enlightenment.
