The Garden of Reality contemplates the relativity of religious truth,
religious pluralism, transreligious discourse, postmodern cosmology,
and multireligious mysticism. Its transreligious approach aims at a
future multireligious, peaceful society in an ecological and cosmic
context. It proposes that the future of humanity is bound to
conviviality with itself and the Earth, that the deepest religious
motivations of existing together are relative to one another, and that
transreligious relativity is essential to the conviction of religions
that their motivations, experiences, and conceptualities are
meaningful, real, and true. By engaging diverse voices from
poststructuralism to Sufism, Dzogchen, and philosophical Daoism, from
conceptual frameworks of Christianity and Hinduism to mystical and
postmodern cosmology, current cosmopolitanism, and interreligious and
interspiritual discourses, but especially understudied contributions
of process thought and the Bahá'í religion, this book suggests that
multireligious conviviality must listen to the universal relevance of
a multiplicity of minority voices. Its polyphilic pluralism affirms
the mutual immanence and co-creative nature of religions and
spiritualities with the universal in-sistence of divine or ultimate
reality in the cosmos. Embracing a relativistic and evolutionary
paradigm in an infinite cosmos of creative becoming, religions must
cope with events of novelty that disturb and connect, transcend and
contrast, the continuum of their truth claims, but must avoid
conflict, as religious diversity is enveloped by an ever-folding
landscape of ultimate reality.
