The rise of community among cultures and religious traditions brings with it a deeply fruitful openness to learning from one another. It makes possible what we can call interspirituality: the assimilation of insights, values, and spiritual practices from the various religions and their application to one's own inner life and development. This phenomenon has truly revolutionary implications, especially for the real likelihood of a global culture and civilization forming that is unmistakably universal in a more than geographical sense.
