nature

The sun rises and sets; the seasons pass.

Birds understand this on some level,

and respond appropriately,

as do the trees, and the mountains.

lonely

Most of humanity, however, has lost this understanding –

most have lost their way.

Page 5: An Introduction Daniel Reader & Cari Bourette © 2009, A New Story Foundation, Inc

ekacakra

is a way to regain this lost relationship, to re-establish a natural role in the process of being in the world.

ekacakra

is an understanding of the world and everything in it, including

ourselves.

unity

It is both a method and an outcome –

by doing ekacakra, one comes to more fully understand the components of existence,

the unity of self and universe.

ekacakra

is an ongoing understanding, a developmental process… It is a way of life.

ekacakra is a religion?

In a word, no. They codify a system

World religions are of values, they usually typified by three provide a creation

myth major components and they describe a model of

life after death.

not a religion…

ekacakra does none of these, and so may not reasonably be characterized as a religion.

It must be said, however, that a greater understanding of ekacakra may lead to a new personal resolution on any of these matters.

where did it come from?

In one sense, ekacakra has always been here.

It is a knowing, a visceral understanding,

of the world and one’s place in it.

While various philosophies, particularly from Asia, have expressed similar ideas over the past few centuries, the nearly-forgotten

knowledge of the relationship has persisted since before the dawn of civilization.

inherent being

It is there, in you, latent, waiting to be re-awakened…

origins

The formalization of ekacakra is the culmination of the songs and myths, the trials and adventures, the very lives of cultures from the whole Earth, over many millennia.

everywhere

ekacakra cannot be claimed by any individual;

it is the music authored by us all… Most cultures embrace various aspects of it in their oldest

stories. Look to those in your culture – you will find the song there…
