Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

Language is suited for transactional reality, but is inadequate for indicating ultimate reality.

When Monotheism puts language around it, it speaks of “God”.

When Hinduism puts language around it, it speaks of “Brahman”.

When Buddhism puts language around it, it speaks of “Śūnyatā”.

When philosophy puts language around it, it speaks of “Monism”.

When Native American Spirituality puts language around it, it speaks of “Great Spirit”.

When Advaita Vedanta puts language around it, it speaks of Non-Duality."

When psychology puts language around it, it speaks of ”Transcendence“.

When physics puts language around it, it speaks of “Quantum Field Theory“.

When Chinese philosophy puts language to it, it speaks of “Tao”.

When Dzogchen puts language around it, it speaks of "Rigpa".

When Humanism puts language around it, it speaks of “Peak Experiences”.

When science puts language around it, it speaks of the “Consciousness”.

When non-religious spirituality puts language around it, it speaks of "Love".

Language is suited for transactional reality, but is inadequate for indicating ultimate reality. In Indian religions this is acknowledged by the use of the OM sound and symbol, which signifies the essence of ultimate reality. The biblical directive "Be still and know that I am God", is an invitation to cease all seeking and become one with ultimate reality. The words of the psalmist "deep calls to deep" describes the experience of knowing oneself as inseparable from the ground of all being and fundamental nature of all reality.

Whatever words we might put around ultimate reality, it is not something we can lasso with language but a reality to be known and experienced at the deepest seat of our being.
