As we move towards a one-world consciousness, we need an evolved spirituality to follow. We can have an adult, non-dogmatic spiritual life that transcends borders and language. This book is a mixture of talks on truth and recorded satang. It is an attempt to reveal, that, knowing oneself has nothing to do with spirituality or religion. Truth is discovering, whom you are. This enquiry has no conditions to it. It does not matter where you are from,...

A lo largo de los 20 años que Ignacio de Loyola fue escribiendo este pequeño libro de los Ejercicios Espirituales, nunca tuvo la intención de hacer una obra maestra de la literatura universal, ni una obra cumbre de la teología o la espiritualidad, ni una gran disertación filosófica.

In order for a flower to bloom, it must first grow. The flower produces a seed or a bulb, and the cycle continues. As a Christian, we have a continuous cycle as well. We bloom and grow. The buds, the blooms and the dying flowers. They are each symbols of our walk with Christ. God will transform you from a bud or dying flower, into a beautiful bloom when you bask in His promises daily.

This volume focuses on the issue of the infinity of God, particularly within the Roman Catholic tradition. The Old and New Testament do not mention God's infinity.
