Many ways are leading to God Many ways are leading to God Since millenaries different cultures on this planet brought up different spiritual traditions. By definition, the author uses the word spiritual only for traditions and spiritual paths leading directly to God-Union. Some of the so called spiritual traditions do certainly aim at totally different goals. Some for example may only lead to an understanding or communication with Astral worlds. The dimension just beyond the physical dimension and still far away from God-Union.
Some traditions do teach people to communicate with Astral beings, even obeying Astral spirits.
This of course can never be truly called spiritual. True spiritual paths always lead to freedom, Love and God-Union. There are however a number of truly spiritual traditions in many different cultures that meet this criteria. To be completely true, one must admit that every way of life is finally leading back to God. God is perfect in any way, so he invented whatever needed to make sure all his divine children enjoy their life and finally find their way back home after experiencing the denser dimensions of his creation.
