The same, but different

Today I listened to a podcast. The first episode in a series of 4, it is called ‘Understanding the Chakras, The Spectrum of Consciousness.

It was so thought provoking. I had previously considered the concept of the chakras to be more aligned with Buddhist beliefs than Christian. The speaker explained at least the crown chakra as if it were part of her Christian beliefs.

It reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend who is a devout Muslim. I was surprised to learn that her beliefs are extremely similar to what mine were at the time. Exasperated, her response was— everyone believes the same thing, they just express it differently.

Definite food for thought to this thinker who is questioning everything at the moment and has no idea what she believes!
