When we understand not just the common origins but the common philosophies at the core of religious theology, we have the opportunity to rise above the societal and political influences that promote dualistic black/white thinking and division between religious beliefs. By applying deeper modes of thinking -- the PaRDeS, or the Matrix of Four -- we can uncover the hidden context behind religious scriptures and, by understanding their commonality, can decisively choose to be peacemakers -- rather than focusing on their literal interpretation of religious scriptures and fighting over the "one true faith". Indeed, understanding the metaphorical and intuitive/hidden meanings of these scriptures allows us to realize the true brotherhood of man. Let's reintegrate our human cultural beauty and collective consciousness instead of separating each other by our belief systems as a justification for waging war on our brothers and sisters.
