Overview

In order to enjoy this book you may have to suspend current beliefs, since some of the concepts may seem quite foreign at first. Hopefully you will find precious gems to take with you. What if monotheism always existed, and revelations were given to all human forms. There are hints to that effect. We should not assume primitive peoples were not smart enough to grasp the concept of a single Creator! Too often we tweak religion to reflect our personal thoughts, rather than dealing directly with the Word of God. Today monotheism is represented by at least nine living faiths, yet praying to God alone is not enough, for many. Instead we pray to Prophets, angels, saints, ancestors, deities, and the universe. This creates a chain of ""Paths"" and ""Ways"" which become stained by human desires for control and material benefits. And as darkness and materialism overtake one Faith, another is born, through the intervention of the Holy Spirit, clothed in a different form, with a new name, and very familiar teachings. Monotheism can be visualized as a chain linking prehistory and history, entwined with human additions, wisps and twists that produce an undulating, ultimate Yin and Yang. This constant interaction of complementary, as well as conflicting, forces and energies, exhibits both organic unity and dynamism-even war. Those who suspect there is a unified core of basic beliefs, should enjoy Ancient Ways.

You will be surprised at the similarities and intricacies of developing, evolving and ending of Religions that cross cultures and human development. An interesting adventure and well worth your time."" -Ragen Hart Editor ""As a lifelong spiritual seeker, I highly enjoyed reading this well-researched book about the spirituality of humankind. It is a book filled with depth and rich knowledge, and I learned much about humans' spiritual path, beginning with the cavemen, which I hadn't realized. In my spiritual path, we honor the threads of oneness found in all religions, and this book affirms that fact. Fascinating!"" -Deborah Perdue, RScP, Centers for Spiritual Living licensed practitioner and author
