In this present work, the matter of faith based cultures is addressed as a developmental cultural stage corresponding to adolescence during which ideologies compete in violent conflicts which, with the present state of armament, promise human annihilation.

The path towards an evolution towards a spiritual ecological maturity is discussed at length with particular emphasis on the relevance of spiritual teachings from both the Eastern and the Christian traditions.

The work is an attempt to relate the spiritual teaching associated with transpersonal psychology to the social and political context of our existence.
