Deep Dive: The Perennial Philosophy

Is there a common thread running through the spiritual traditions of the world? From the ecstatic poetry of Sufi mystics to the wordless insight of Zen Buddhism, from the meditative depths of Vedanta to the contemplative silence of Christian monastics, the Perennial Philosophy suggests there is. This worldview holds that beneath all doctrines and rituals lies a shared vision of reality. One in which the soul’s journey is a return to the eternal ground of being.

In this session, we’ll explore what “salvation” means through this lens, and the mindset of a human who aspires to such a realization. Guided by Aldous Huxley’s book, The Perennial Philosophy, we shall explore themes of love, detachment, and the mysticism there is.
