wisdom traditions a valuable resource
hinduism | buddhism | jainism | judaism | christianity | islam
confucianism | taoism | shintoism | indigenous cultures
wisdom traditions today

within a religious context

or social conventions
wisdom traditions tomorrow
can be seen as
a consistent set of universal values
at work within all of nature

unlocking the wisdom
requires a quality of reflection
that allows a broader understanding
for translation to other domains
we call that process ‘deep reading’
the advantage of applied wisdom
