Many ancient and modern-day teachers promote different pathways to distance our minds from the consciousness (heart) and become bearers of wisdom. Those pathways are like streams carrying the same water into one river – the AncientPath - that   reveals the inner peace to anyone who follows it. All spiritual teachings give the same message: the ancient path to inner and global peace. This path is presented differently in many teachings to attract followers at the surface level
