The following is a concept that came to me late one night during a time that I refer to as one of my "moments of clarity." Some parts are interjected by my life partner as a means of attempting to make the image as clear as possible
I look forward to any questions, comments, or well-intended debate this generates. In any case, I truly hope that it induces thought. Enjoy and Light guide your path.

Ruhani's Crystal
Truth. Belief. One and the same or two completely separate entities? Perhaps we shall never know. Mayhap we are never meant to. However, I believe that the later is actually just a part of the former. Let me explain.
Imagine, if you will, a crystal. Give it innumerable facets. Now think of each facet, or face, of that crystal as spiritual belief. Every religion known to man is a face of this crystal-to include those generally regarded as evil, satanic, devil-worship. This gigantic crystal is the Truth. Yes, all beliefs are part of the whole Truth. Not all truths are attractive, but that does not make them any less true. If you have imagined the crystal as multi-faceted as I did you will notice that even taking into account all the religions that are now extinct, there are many more facets than possible beliefs. I do not think we, as humans, have discovered them all yet.
Some people look at only their facet…and so intently that all they really end up seeing is themselves. Others have slid a bit to look over the edge of their facet and have seen other beliefs. There are quite a bit of us who have managed to take a step back and see this wonderful crystal. We cannot possibly see the crystal in its entirety though. To do that we would need to be able to pick it up and turn it, looking, understanding, and accepting all the other possible beliefs…all the wondrous facets.
I do not believe that any ONE person will ever be able to pick up the crystal. It is much too enormous. However, I do believe that if WE learn about other's beliefs, understand them, and accept them, we will see larger and larger sections of the Truth. We do not have to agree with them, but accept them. It is also my firm belief that mankind is intended to know this Truth.
How you ask? Well, by working together, to know one another, to be tolerant of those who do not believe as we do, to pick up the crystal together and turn it so that all can see every aspect of the Truth.
