For every THESIS (Church Dogmas) there is always an ANTI-THESIS (Protestant Teachings) and the challenge should be to SYNTHESIZE all these thesis and anti-thesis in order to be UNITED once again!

The two churches have NO MIDDLE GROUND! That's why GNOSTICISM is the inner or Esoteric side of Christianity!

ECUMENISM has been practiced by GNOSTICISM even before the time of Jesus. Are you aware of this TRUTH?

The church is just a REACTIVE kind of institution after Vatican I. Ecumenism was formulated at VATICAN II and that was in 1960's.

UNITA, ONENESS, KAUSAHAN, do i know now? hahay

Yes it is this practice of ONENESS realizing that "No Religion is Higher Than Truth (GOD)."

The smallest creaturely image that ever forms in you is as great as God is great. Why? Because it comes between you and the whole of God. As soon as the image comes in, God and all His Divinity have to give way. But as the image goes out, God goes in.

- Meister Eckhart

The Transcendent Unity of Religions

The traditionalist or perennialist perspective began to be enunciated in the 1920s by the French philosopher René Guénon and, in the 1930s, by Frithjof Schuon himself. The Harvard orientalist Ananda Coomaraswamy and the Swiss art historian Titus Burckhardt also became prominent advocates of this point of view. Fundamentally, this doctrine is the Sanatana Dharma – the eternal religion – of Hindu Neo-Vedantins. It was supposedly formulated in ancient Greece, in particular, by Plato and later Neoplatonists, and in Christendom by Meister Eckhart (in the West) and Gregory Palamas (in the East). Every religion has, besides its literal meaning, an esoteric dimension, which is essential, primordial and universal. This intellectual universality is one of the hallmarks of Schuon's works, and it gives rise to fascinating insights into not only the various spiritual traditions, but also history, science and art.
The dominant theme or principle of Schuon's writings was foreshadowed in his early encounter with a Black marabout who had accompanied some members of his Senegalese village to Switzerland in order to demonstrate their culture. When the young Schuon talked with him, the venerable old man drew a circle with radii on the ground and explained: God is in the center, all paths lead to Him.[3]

Sadly, but we ALL practice "paganism". A manner which we took from our great great forefathers.
