INTRODUCTION

Exploring the Philosophy & Spiritual Advanced Practices of the main Traditions/Religions provides methodologies and tools to guide the student on the path of Self-Transformation. On the other hand, practicing the core of these Traditions is key to a real transformation, a knowledge acquisition by identity. This SOW proposes a two-step approach:

To review the mystic aspects of Eastern and Western Inner Traditions –Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianism, Islam and Theosophy, and to develop some practice sessions to experiment the approach of mysticism.
