Lewis Harrison is a noted practical philosopher and the founder and senior teacher at the Wisdom Path Community - A non-dogmatic international community of scientists and spiritual seekers seeking to embrace the and explore the contradictions, paradoxes and ambiguity inherent in life. This booklet is an introduction to the work and the community. The Wisdom Path is a practical philosophy of living, relationships, and spiritual inquiry. It offers those with an intellectual curiosity, a deep spiritual hunger, or those who live in a "state of longing", a basic approach by which to organize their personal life journey. There are also those who feel lost and confused and need a safe place to explore what the meaning of life is. The Wisdom Path as explored through the Teachings of Lewis Harrison provides this. Free of dogma, hierarchies, rites, rituals, ceremonies, clergy, temples, churches or other "so called" sacred buildings or sacred texts and holy books, the Wisdom Path offers basic guidance and a psychological and emotional safety net for spiritual seekers of all types. The Path is open to all teachings built on love and compassion and uses the "Teachings of Lewis Harrison" as a fundamental guide. These teachings, drawn from the works and ideas of many great thinkers, mystics, scientists and visionaries are organized in over twenty-five published books, and thousands of blogs, articles, and talks. There is also a loosely connected international community and online network of those involved in the work. This is known as the Wisdom Path Community. This short Introduction to the Wisdom Path and to the Teachings of Lewis Harrison will help you to create a life of greater love, mental clarity, emotional balance, spiritual wholeness and happiness. Lewis Harrison, a pioneer in the personal development movement and a contemporary spiritual teacher has written this Introduction to his work to help you to magnify your potential on all levels. As the various elements of your life are magnified and you embrace them this Introduction and all of the 24 plus Volumes in the series "The Teachings of Lewis Harrison" will be available to assist you in creating a practical order and harmony to the messy chaos that often passes for normal living. According to Lewis Harrison, "In recently years it has occurred to me that now, in ways never possible before, I could create a network of people interested in spirituality, personal development and human potential using my writings as a basic link "a pattern language" for them. It wouldn't be another religion, You couldn't actually join it, and there would be no dues, rites, rituals, ceremonies, dogma, holy books, clergy, gurus, sacred texts, guilt, shame, judgment or inner circles of influence. It would just be a "Path" that each person would journey upon at their own pace and yet they would not be alone. My teachings, drawn of the teachings of others much wiser than, I would serve as a basic guide and support those who might find some truth in my work and use it as part of their support system. It would be an evolving, inclusive Path - a vehicle for exploration and growth." Lewis continues, "As the founder of the Wisdom Path Community, or rather the 'facilitator' I must remind all who have chosen this path that there is no one "Wisdom Path." All great teachers and teachings have their own subtle differences, yet these ultimately dissolve once one has learned to love others. Ultimately, life on the Wisdom Path is defined by one's intention to live fully, with joy, clarity of thought, emotional balance and with little or no unnecessary struggle." "As I began to formulate the ideas that would become the Wisdom Path Community I began to receive messages from around the world to teach. If anyone wants to explore these ideas in depth they can begin with the first Volume of "The Teachings of Lewis Harrison" - "Spiritual, Not Religious: Sacred Tools for Modern Times"
