Spiritual Unification

When it's all said and done, do our differences come together? When I read of principles in different religions, I can't help but notice similar undertones. The religion fits a culture. It's been born for that culture. Many cultures exist, but in the end we are human. So when the end should arise, what do these common religious tenants forecast? I fundamentally believe that God is watching over each and every one of us and guiding us to the Truth in any way that we are bound to listen. There certainly are people who do not listen. And I leave open the possibility that such "disobedience" may itself be a form of awakening whereby God is directing. But certainly for those of us who "listen" and certainly are "disobedient" in our own right, I don't believe it's as important as which you believe as long as you believe in something. For conviction grounds us and sets us firm. It allows us to act from values wherever values are set. Otherwise we search aimlessly for this or that.
