A Message from Reverend Terry SheaWisdom Traditions
Most of the Wisdom Traditions evolved during what is called the Axial Age, between 800 and 200 BCE. A postmodern seeker might ask, "Why should we go back to these ancient faiths?" The answer is that during this period of history people worked as hard to find a cure for their spiritual ills as we do today trying to find a cure for cancer.
Karl Jaspers who coined this phrase, referred to this period as "a deep breath bringing the most lucid consciousness". He was particularly interested in the similarities in circumstance and thought of the Age’s figures. These similarities included an engagement in the quest for human meaning and the rise of a new elite class of religious leaders and thinkers in China, India and the West.
These three regions all gave birth to, and then institutionalised, a tradition of travelling scholars, who roamed from city to city to exchange ideas. These scholars were largely from extant religious traditions, Homer, Socrates, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Thucydides, Archimedes in Greece; Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Deutero-Isaiah in Canaan; Confucius, Siddhartha Gautama and Lao Tzu in China and India, and Zoroaster in Persia.
