Do they elaborate on any spiritual matters in their other teachings? Do they teach anything about say Jesus or Buddha or angels or anything else like that or is it all about feeling good? |
According to the Roger Walsh, author of
Essential Spirituality, the goals of spirituality are the cultivation of kindness, love, joy, peace, compassion, wisdom and generosity.
And the Abraham Teachings (
Ask and it is Given) encourage the readers to achieve emotions that are higher on the
Emotional Guidance Scale. At the top of that scale you find: joy, knowledge, empowerment, freedom, love, appreciation.
So although this list is not identical to the goals of spirituality, I must say that there is a great overlap.
I remember Abraham referring to Jesus as
that great one. However, Abraham also says that the bible is not a good representation of the teachings of Jesus because the message got lost in the many translations.
