Realize a greater truth with this uplifting guide to mysticism * Explores the power of a universal spirituality and its nine practical elements: moral capacity, solidarity with all life, deep nonviolence, mature self-knowledge, humility, selfless service, simplicity of life, daily practice, and serving as a prophetic witness in the causes of justice, peace and protecting creation * Demonstrates that the final goal of authentic spirituality is realizing our true nature as mystics Drawing on his extraordinary experience as an interreligious monk and mystic, Brother Wayne Teasdale reveals in The Mystic Heart what he calls interspirituality, a genuine and comprehensive sprituality that draws on the mystical core of the world's greatest traditions. From this spiritual vantage, he shows that what so often forms the basis for conflict can really be a meeting place of understanding and commonality. In their meeting, as he shows, a greater truth is realized.
