Więcej o książce

Influenced by modern Eastern spirituality teachers, Mirabai Starr dedicates her life to honoring diversity and celebrating unity among all paths leading to love. Known for her translations of Spanish mystics, she delves into the spiritual roots of Western religion, offering an insightful introduction to the beliefs, scriptures, and practices of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Starr introduces a new context called InterSpiritual, which provides a framework for understanding our religiously pluralistic world. Unlike the "interfaith" movement focused on institutional cooperation, InterSpiritual emphasizes personal and spiritual dimensions, recognizing the common roots shared by all religious expressions. Starr, acclaimed for her translations of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, employs fresh, lyrical language to make timeless wisdom accessible to contemporary seekers. As a teenager, she lived at the Lama Foundation, a spiritual community honoring all faith traditions since 1967. Since 1993, she has served as an adjunct professor of philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico–Taos, emphasizing connections between the perennial teachings at the heart of all spiritual paths. Starr shares her insights through national and international speaking engagements and teachings.
