The Bigger Picture

If everyone on earth understood that, just by being human, we’re all meeting the same challenges and going through the same growth steps, we’d have a lot less to fight about, wouldn’t we?

We’d all have a better map for growing more effectively, too.

Level Praying Field shows how, deep down, every world religion came about to help humans accomplish the same, basic evolutionary task. Arising historically in sequence and each in their own way, the world religions have proposed a concrete and perfect next step toward fulfilling that task.

Through the materials and programs offered here, you’ll see how the teachings of the Hindu Brahmins of ancient India, Abraham, Moses, the Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Jesus Christ and Muhammed all were furthering this same, unified human task.

We will not see this by homogenizing any of the world religions brought forward by those master teachers, but by honoring the scriptures of each, each on their own sacred terms.

There really is a level praying field.

Growth Steps of Ever-Expanding Consciousness

Green_Muslim-Amazement_NarrowThe Bigger Picture starts becoming clear when you consider human growth as an ongoing process of learning to become more and more aware of our innate human potential.

Think of your own life. As a child, you only knew what you were taught. But then, as you grew into the teen years and into young adulthood, you started to become more aware of who you were innately.

Wouldn’t you agree that, over the course of your life, all of your lessons have basically taught you more about who you are, how you think, what works and what doesn’t work for you and in relationship to others?

Wouldn’t you say this is also true in your child’s life? Don’t you find it quietly amazing that literally every day, you watch your child(ren) understand more about themselves and their world?

The premise of Level Praying Field

As you read this website, you’ll see that human consciousness evolves in a series of seven consistent, recurring stages: an overview stage followed by six developmental stages.

The recurrence of these stages on many different levels of human experience at once explains a lot of things: Why we humans get so caught up in conflict. How we evolve spiritually. Where the world religions originated. You’ll also start to see where you are in your own spiritual growth, and where your child(ren) are in theirs. You’ll learn how to help yourself and your child(ren) navigate though these stages most effectively.

You’ll see that each world religion came forward because it was basically the message the world needed at that time to take the next leap forward in consciousness. And always, this unfoldment is consistent with our human growth stages, just played out on a very large, multi-century scale.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of these ideas, step by step, by following these pages. Take your time. Read a bit, digest, come back, read more. If you run into questions, read this.

The goal of Level Praying Field is to help you see how you, your child(ren) and everyone else on earth are all taking part in a single human enterprise aimed at learning to love.

This occurs regardless of where you live, what your religious background is, what you currently believe – even if you don’t believe anything. In this, we’re all united.

To begin to understand how the world religions are all simply expressions of the stages required to attain this goal, read the Sunflower Story.
