There is truth to be found in all religions. Religion helps to raise one's level of understanding about God. Religion helps to install in our lives structure, values, morals and a faith in something much greater than ourselves. Each individual is at a different level of spiritual awareness and must develop accordingly. No one doctrine, creed or religion can fulfill the spiritual needs of all mankind. As an individual develops through different levels of understanding or awareness, they may be drawn to study a variety of philosophies or religions. Ultimately all paths lead to the same place. Some paths are more difficult than others but this is how we learn. Throughout many lifetimes one must experience all things, in order to understand all things.
