The Simplest of Truths: Our Earthly, Human and Spiritual Ecology

The Simplest of Truths is a blend of essays and stories that focus on spirituality, but are also intended to push people to reflect on their deepest values. This book does not fit neatly into any mainstream ideology, but instead centers on principles of fairness as a foundation to traditional morality. While the framework of the book is religious, its tone is not evangelical in its mission. It suggests that by embracing the principles of equality, integrity, and wisdom, anyone—regardless of his or her religious or ethnic background—can create a better state of being for his or herself and the world they live in. Condensed down to the very basics, our elevated awareness of ourselves and each other or our spiritual enlightenment starts by embracing three truths: peace, equality, and the sanctity of life. This process starts with identifying the peace hidden at the core of our being. The second two, equality and the sanctity of life, are our mandates on how we should strive to treat each other. Uncovering the peace at our core is not a simple matter; however, once revealed and then paired with the two mandates, these three truths together have the power to transform our lives, our religions, our politics, and our world.
