The reason why this organization exists today can be traced back to 1947 when <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> was partitioned into two countries on religious grounds. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt'><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> is and always was a pluralistic country where diverse people lived together free to practice their own religions. They coexisted for centuries in ‘peace’ but, perhaps, they never succeeded in building lasting bonds of humanity between the populations. As a result, unrest on both sides of the partitioned land resulted in large scale rioting, butchery, rape, and homelessness in a shameless orgy of religious hatred. </p> <p class=MsoNormal>We were told that the identity savagery of 1947 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> was an act of uneducated masses and things would improve with the spread of modern education. But the truth of the matter is that the human condition has not improved in the intervening years. </p> <p class=MsoNormal>Recent historical events of these years all around the world indicate that the hearts and minds of humanity are no closer today than in <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> of 1947. The promise of education remains unrealized because the world educational systems have failed to address the is<st1:PersonName w:st="on">sue</st1:PersonName> of raising human consciousness <span style='font-family:Calibri'>to perceive our common humanity.</span> This perception is necessary to build bridges between the hearts and minds of diverse people living in the global village today.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>That identity madness that we witnessed affected us deeply. We dedicate our lives to unifying and inclusive spiritual education as our contribution in ensuring that it will never repeat itself anywhere in the world. </p> <p class=StyleHeading1Left0Hanging013 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><a name="_Toc233941942" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc227798850" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949660" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949979" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228950512" target="main"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Toc233941942'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3. </span><![endif]>Important Dates</span></a></p> <p class=MsoNormal>As an organization, Spiritual Heritage Education Network Inc.

One unites and the other divides. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Calibri'>Religion is founded upon one unseen spiritual reality underlying the entire universe. This reality connects us all and is the unifying face, the core spirituality of religion. Religion also confines this infinite reality in finite forms rendering somebody's God less Godlike, somebody's prophet less prophetic, and another’s community less righteous and deserving. This is the divisive face. Spiritual Heritage Education Network Inc. proposes to use the unifying face to dull the edge of the divisive one. See <a href="#AppendixA" target="main"> Appendix A</a> for more on this rationale.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=StyleHeading1Left0Hanging013 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><a name="_Toc233941947" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc227798855" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949665" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949984" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228950517" target="main"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Toc233941947'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>8. </span><![endif]>Strategy</span></a></p> <p class=MsoNormal>Development of spiritual education curricula for all educational levels is a huge task. Therefore, Spiritual Heritage Education Network Inc. proposes to take up the task in stages. The first stage addresses the curriculum needs for the post secondary level. The purpose is to create a pool of teachers for the lower levels. </p> <p class=MsoNormal>Where do we offer the curriculum? It will take time for the universities and colleges to shed the hold of their long standing religious conditioning. Spiritual Heritage Education Network Inc. proposes to offer this curriculum in a distance education mode on the internet after due testing by teaching it live in the classroom. It is hoped that the success of the curriculum in the distance education mode will convince the established educational systems to follow suit.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>It is therefore essential for us to adopt high academic standards and follow strictly an inclusive code of ethics in developing our curriculum and the associated course material. In addition, we must readily share our developments with individual universities, colleges, and professors who are willing to take a leadership role.</p> <p class=StyleHeading1Left0Hanging013 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><a name="_Toc233941948" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc227798856" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949666" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949985" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228950518" target="main"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Toc233941948'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>9. </span><![endif]>Ethical Criteria in Spiritual Education</span></a></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt'>Spirit being the antonym of matter, <span lang=EN-CA style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>the spiritual realm is inclusive and unitive, while the material realm is exclusive and separative.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>The more spiritual is a thing, the more inclusive and universal it is.

Religion builds communities and core spirituality builds one human family in the wider world context. </p> <p class=MsoNormal>Religion is meaningful only to its followers. Core spirituality on the other hand is meaningful to the whole humanity. Religion is the basis of exclusive tribal values. Core spirituality is the basis of inclusive and shared human values.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>It is ironic, with religion, that what starts off unifying people into communities becomes the thing that divides them. Community is good, but divisive tribalism is not.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>Doctrine veils core spirituality and its propagation is not in the worldly interest of religion. It is obvious that religion is ineffective as a vehicle of teaching our underlying oneness and shared human values in a pluralistic world.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>Religion is equipped to the building of religious identities. Core spirituality, on the other hand, transcends religion and can help human beings in transcending religious identities on their way to global human identities. Globalization of human minds is essential to eliminate identity savagery.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>It is the position of Spiritual Heritage Education Network Inc. that the propagation of core spirituality and the building of global human identities is a matter of essence for the educational systems of the world. The educational systems must rise to meet this challenge if humanity is to survive the global problems it faces today.</p> <p class=AppHeading style='page-break-before:always'><a name="_Toc233941957" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc227798874" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949675" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228949992" target="main"></a><a name="_Toc228950525" target="main"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Toc233941957'>Appendix B - </span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_Toc233941957'><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Ethics of </span>Spiritual<span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Education</span></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>Spiritual Education must be delivered and pur<st1:PersonName w:st="on">sue</st1:PersonName>d ethically. It must be remembered at all times that spirituality and religion are complimentary and not in competition with each other. Religion seeks to build communities of human beings while spirituality seeks to knit all beings into one family. Spirituality seeks to highlight the universality of the essence of religion.

We need to work on the principle that one’s personal salvation or liberation lies in the single-minded pursuit of one’s chosen religion and everyone must have the freedom of pursuing their salvation or liberation in their chosen ways. The important conclusion of spiritual endeavour is that it is senseless to bring in the element of exclusivity in one’s religion while downgrading others. This conclusion needs further elaboration because what is advocated here is not merely tolerance of other religions but mutual respect and acceptance of other religions. This can be ensured only when there is no seed of intolerance at all in the pursuit of a religion.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>It is true that civilized secular societies have ensured that there are constitutional mechanisms in place where there is no scope for religious intolerance to raise its ugly head. But our objectives go one step further. What is advocated is true spirituality that transcends all differences, including religious differences, and where there is no room for intolerance of any kind. According to Meister Eckhart, “Everything pertaining to the spiritual realm is inclusive and unitive by nature, whilst matter is by nature exclusive and implies separative particularity; the more spiritual a thing is, the more inclusive and thus universal it is, and the more material a thing is, the more it excludes other things by the very rigidity of its specific contours.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>It is our position that spirituality that lies at the core of every religion is “inclusive and unitive by nature” and we therefore present the following ethical criteria for teaching such spirituality:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l18 level1 lfo14; tab-stops:list .25in'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>      </span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-CA style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>The over-arching ethic is the ethic of underlying oneness of all.
