You're not as great as you think you are ... you are far, far greater.


You're not as great as you think you are ... you are far, far greater.

Before Religion is a treasure hunt through the oldest philosophical and spiritual texts known to humankind. This book is about how spirituality can be experienced by anyone, anywhere. It is about self-realisation and the ultimate reality that exists behind a veil of illusion. And it is a rallying call to confront the conflict caused by exclusivism and the thinking that 'my religion is the only way'.

This worldview embraced many paths and accommodated different starting points. It was for everyone, from the yogis meditating in the mountains to the warrior kings performing fire sacrifices. It aimed to facilitate life based on who you are, where you are at, and where you want to go.

Before Religion explores the contribution an ancient civilization can make to today's search for a unifying vision of spirituality and how this can help heal the fractured world we now live in.
