- What I offer here is not so much a particular way of thinking, as an encouragement to think. I believe there is no occupation in life more important nor fulfilling than spiritual development and realization. Reaching for the One is the very reason for our existence! It is this eternal reaching, not any grasping or even eventual attaining, that makes our existence glorious and worth while. We Reach for the One because this is our natural propensity. Where (or even if) the Eternal Quest will end who can say? The following pieces reflect some of my thoughts and experiences along the way.

Welcome to John of AllFaith's
Reaching for the One!
God's Garden
By John of AllFaithSome folks say they know the truth
They claim they've got it all down,
But I say that such people
Are little more than clowns
For God is far greater
Than anything we conceive
And so we're only partly right
No matter what we believe
Like Paul we gaze in the mirror
And behold our own reflection
I guess we wont really know the Truth
'Till we attain perfection
The only thing I know for sure
Is that God is Love
My only hope of salvation
Is to trust that Love above
Yah vishva deva
Ki vatika
Hai sair karne
Ke liye
This universe is God's garden
And its meant for roaming in
