Imagine a city atop a mountain. At the four corners of the base of the mountain lie four different nations with four different cultures and four different religions. Each religion has created their own set of rules to live by, but each share at least two things in common. First, each teaches that love is their highest goal, and second, each believes the city atop the mountain is the holy place of their god or gods, and the place they hope to go to one day.
Each religion has a different name for the celestial city. The eastern religion calls it Nirvana. The western religion calls it heaven. The northern religion calls it The City of the Gods. And the southern religion calls it The City of the Great Spirit. Surprisingly, each religion believes that their beliefs are the only ones that will enable their people to reach the celestial city. The celestial city is the same. Each religion hopes to reach it. Few, if any of the people of the nations, understand this truth.
