I am terribly behind in everything Christmas prep and found this article while goofing off. It poses an interesting theological question. The Mormons being a recent religion have answered this for themselves and good for them!
I think that we will find a myriad of varied and rich spiritual traditions across the Cosmos. But at their fundamental core we will encounter love, care for the poor, serenity, peace and good will toward our fellows. They will have had their wars, their inquisitions, their debates, and ultimately they will come to a place of dialogue and appreciation of one another. At the end, they (and us) will finally have learned what the mystics and prophets of this planet have been trying to teach us since the dawn of conscious thought. We are all on a journey up the mountain, many paths, one destination.
So whatever path you are on, walk it, study it, let it seep into your being. Find the spiritual core at the heart of it's tenants and apply them to the here and now. Don't worry about the paths others take. Blaze your own path if you need to but keep climbing, keep your eye on the prize...The Divine Spirit at the heart of the Universe. Meet me there with ET. We will have some Egg Nog waiting for you.
Unless of course we meet the Klingons first....then we are totally screwed.
And God Bless us, Everyone!!!
