" Do you think that it is possible these days to find a way and reconcile all sorts of religions? " Or do you think that it is not possible to achieve?"
These are great questions, Man ! I 'll share my answer ... 01 It is possible to achieve a reconciliation all religions ... but not in the manner of making the ' nuts and bolts ' identical, as practises and beliefs instituted in the respective religions. 02 The reconciliation I speak of is of the nature of transcendence ... of attaining the summum bono of one's own particular religion and outgrowing its instituted structure, practises and beliefs. To give an analogy, untill the destination is reached, we keep to the path, to its directions, speak of its ups and downs, think of what it entails, judge the experiences, alternate between doubt and trust of the beliefs it demands, discuss the apparent meanings and meaninglessness, and so on. That's religion for us. But, when the destination is reached, we no longer speak of the path, of all that was in it, of all that it involved. We are then free of all that, all that was before. We are then consumed with, by, what is at and in the ' destination.' In truth, the destination has nothing to do with the path. The path was ours, because of where we were. We climb up the ladder and reach the roof. Standing on the roof, viewing the sight it offers, we no longer speak of the ' ladder !' For whatever it is worth.
