Altruism in Action

"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

Universal Theme


The universal theme in all Ancient Wisdom traditions is the idea of an interconnectedness of all life, humanity and the universe. Accordingly, every action we take has an effect not only upon ourselves, but upon our family, our community, and so on. Through a process of continual inner awareness, self responsability, discernment, and perseverance aimed at compassion, we move towards practical wisdom in our daily living. This process presents us with the opportunity to confront fear, prejudice, violence and selfishness with fresh understanding and compassionate action. Every sincere effort we make towards self realization can bring us a step closer to a world based upon compassion and social justice if we act with the greater good in mind.
