The Vedanta religion focuses on ultimate reality. Not only does it lead aspirants to transcendental consciousness — beyond normal sense and mental awareness — it leads beyond the transcendental into pure spirit — or absolute knowledge.
Metaphysicians are particularly interested in higher consciousness. They attune with it every day. Many metaphysicians have devotedly abided in higher consciousness for years and decades. Religious Science, Unity, and Christian Science are the leading metaphysical churches in the world, but there are a number of smaller groups also. While there are several differences of attitude or philosophy, all such groups of believers focus on the nature of being and essential reality.
Rabbi David Eliezrie, Director of the Chabad Community Center in Anaheim, California, beckoned us into his office. A frank, straightforward, and very kindly man, he shook hands. He was medium height, with short, dark hair and dark brown eyes magnified by glasses. When he spoke, his voice was soft, gracious. He wore regular clothing — a shirt and pants — not the braids or hat I was expecting.
Rabbi Frank Stern of Temple Beth Shalom in Santa Ana, California is a tall, confident man with a resonant voice. He has dark, curly, thinning hair, a moustache and short beard — like a Vandyke but rounded under his chin — and appears to be in his forties. He was dressed casually, gray slacks and a white shirt, with the top button open.
Islam means “the way of commitment and submission to God. Islam is the name of our religion, and Muslim is the person who practices our religion,” said Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Director of the Islamic Society of Orange County in California.
He complimented us for being on time. We removed our shoes and entered his apartment. Hindus are famous for their hospitality. Professor Sharma insisted we first have a cup of tea. He explained that he had lectured around the world on Hinduism, so I felt very comforted that I had finally succeeded in gaining a chapter on Hinduism.
Bishop John T. Steinbock sat near a crucifix and regularly looked at the image of Christ on the cross as he thought deeply and responded to my series of questions. 1 A thin man of medium height, he has dark, thinning hair and dark brown eyes. In his forties, he wore a short-sleeved black shirt and a white Roman collar.

At the time Jesus Christ began his mission upon the earth, the term “Christian” was applied to his followers. It was often a derisive term and in many times throughout history it has been extremely dangerous to be called a Christian.
Your practice of good will cultivates the heart’s truest, deepest feeling: love.
These good will practices are a boon to mystical study.
The goal of good will practice is the change of the heart.
When your heart naturally and spontaneously radiates forth a palpable good will, then you are a changed person.
