View from Within

A spiritual renaissance is emerging. People are paying greater attention to what brings about more happiness, and what helps us to be more forgiving and kind. Our spiritual beliefs and practices, although varied, become universal in our desire to live in a beneficent hopeful world. Many theologists are pointing to this time in our history as an opportunity to rise to higher states of being. Musings of love, compassion, joy, optimism, awe, and gratitude are the voices of the ancient wisdom keepers that are arising from the depths of our own longings.

How do we find sustainable happiness? What does it mean to access the divine? How can we discover the meaning and purpose for our life?

Spirituality is not necessarily religiosity. However, the tenets of religion and spirituality are varied and each offers an elevating pathway to wellbeing and happiness. Some of the emotions expressed on this pathway include: gratitude, kindness, compassion, love, zest and connection.

There are unbreakable ties that bind each of us on our spiritual journey. No matter your faith, your creed, or your beliefs, there is much to learn from one another, and more that draws us together than sets us apart. When we find those connections, when we tap into the collective divine, the quest for happiness becomes not just a process of seeking, but the journey home.

This gorgeous photo book is a journey. Follow us around the world, through the dazzling sights, insights, and teachings of over twenty different religious practices. Immerse yourself in the images of beauty found in the world around us. What surrounds us in the physical realm, and what holds us close in the spiritual can be appreciated when we see from the view from within.

Finally, settle your soul into the truths that tie us all together. Truths such as the power of forgiveness, the value of silence, the universal need of belonging… and so much more.
