To See, To Be, To Do:
  How World Religions Define God,
    the Universe, and Reality

This is our signature class and keynote address that offers in a single presentation a unique overview of the perspectives and "worldview" of the world's major religions.

Instead of the usual catalogue of dates and names, this presentation offers a remarkably concise model that organizes religious traditions into three broad families:

  • Middle Eastern Traditions
          Baha'i, Christianity, Islam,
          Judaism, Zoroastrianism
  • Indian Traditions
          Buddhist, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism
  • Balance Traditions
          Aboriginal Spirituality, Confucianism, Shinto,
          Taoism, Wicca/Neo-pagan

The presentation highlights the underlying assumptions of each family of traditions, and explores their worldviews on key topics such as

  • Naming of the Ultimate
  • Scriptures
  • The cause of suffering
  • Views on humanity and the earth
  • Nature of sacred time
  • Attaining liberation/salvation

Shiva Nataraj: Lord of the Dance &
    OM: Sound of the Sacred

Two lectures in one CD:

Shiva Nataraj: Lord of the Dance interprets one of the world's most beautiful and well-known religious icons. This enigmatic symbol guides the mind to perceive the inherent mystery of the Divine. With Shiva Nataraj, we consider how best to live in concert with the music and dance of life that is all around us.

OM: SOUND OF THE SACRED reveals the transformative meaning contained in the most often repeated mantra in the world. Om represents primordial energy and is the most sacred sound, shape, syllable and prayer of many Eastern religions. This lecture explores a comprehensive understanding of this four-syllable sound that represents the wholeness and completeness of all things both created and uncreated.
