"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one,
he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
Thomas Jefferson

The word religion comes from "re-ligare"or "tying again." Religion seeks to tie us, Eternons born from the Absolute, with our cosmic origin.

We all have religious thoughts, if only to help in facing the prospect of our inevitable end. We all seek some logic behind the apparent absurdity of our fugitive passage on Earth.

Agnostics may refuse to bother with eternity and divinity, still they forge some personal system of belief to hold things together. Hard core materialists may think the universe is but a mechanism like their watch, still they have to wonder who is the jeweler.

Through contemplation and meditation, a few human Leading Eternons have approached the Absolute in striking and luminous insights. Some like Moses, Zoroaster, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Christ, and Mohammed, have shared with us the fruits of their enlightenment.

But how come these fruits are so diverse. How can we reconcile the Hindu cult of a legion of divinities, the Jewish worship of a fatherly god, and the Taoist faith in impersonal principles? If Eternons are fractions of the same Absolute, why do they give to humans different feelings for it? This is what we shall answer in this part of the site.
