The Wheel of the World Religions and the Mystic Center of the Wheel

I do like conceiving of the world religions as all being part of a kind of “wheel” of humanity. Toward the outer rim of the wheel are where the spokes are furthest apart illustrating each religion’s own unique language, geography, history, theology, culture, rituals, etc…. But as the spokes converge at the center of the wheel they reach a oneness, a unity. I see the mystic schools of spirituality in each of the world religions as occupying that innermost or most within part of the wheel where silence, contemplative meditation — the universal inner world of the Spirit — is the meeting-point or Reality shared by all souls.
