one person's view you may enjoy Pondering

For those of us who are not congenitally the members of an organized church, who have found that humanism and nature-worship are not enough, who are not content to remain in the darkness of ignorance, the squalor of vice or the other squalor of respectability, the minimum working hypothesis would seem to run to about this:

• That there is a Godhead, Ground, Brahman, Clear Light of the Void, which is the un-manifested principle of all manifestations.

 

• That it is possible for human beings to love, know and, from virtually, to become actually identical with the divine Ground.

 

• That to achieve this unitive knowledge of the Godhead is the final end and purpose of human existence.

 

• That there is a Law or Dharma which must be obeyed, a Tao of Way which must be followed, if men are to achieve their final end.

- Aldous Huxley, English writer and philosopher, from a 1944 introduction to, "Vedanta and the West."
