The spiritual, societal, and intellectual history of of the world is vast, so to slice it into clear and complete divisions is a tall order. The contributions of various nations and peoples complicates the task even further. To simplify the situation we have chosen to focus on middle eastern contributions to modern life through the lenses of Christ Consciousness here, and Islamic philosophy through the poetry of Rumi here. Again, there is much to cover such as ancient Greece, Egypt, and other areas we may address in future posts so stay tuned!
