Holistic Spirituality: the Key to the New Era. The call for a radical shift in consciousness today, both in science and in religion, is becoming increasingly urgent. But what should this shift in consciousness look like? How can humanity find its balance and center again in today's extreme times? The answer from the theistic mystery schools is: through holistic spirituality. Holistic has become a buzzword, but it originally refers to the consistent middle path that recognizes and avoids all forms of one-sidedness and half-truths. Only when we recognize wholeness - and not just unity - have we found the key to the new era. Buddhism speaks of the narrow path here, Jesus of the narrow gate to the kingdom of heaven, and Indian mysticism of the path of truth.
