Description:
This paper explains that, although there certainly are connections and parallels between different religions and faith structures, the relationship between interfaith dialogue and peace negotiation is hampered by the fact that today most world conflicts are the result of fundamentalist differences and disagreements between religious faiths and worldviews. Next, the author looks at modern religious myth and secularization, the concepts of non-duality, nothingness and attachment and the relationship of sufism, Kabala and the writings of Jung. The paper concludes that the works of Jung and others within the secular world can act as integrators of essential religious views thus accelerating the movement towards world peace.

From the Paper:
"Despite these examples it is equally true that there has been in many sensitive areas of the world a contemporary 'hardening' of views and attitudes between different faiths, a fact that is often culturally driven. There are intense differences in dogma and ideologically that are endlessly debated and which hamper the true understanding and interconnections between religious faiths. One example is the difference between Buddhism and Catholicism with regard to certain central religious concepts; for example in a comparison between Theravada Buddhist and Catholic views on the subject of salvation."Sample of Sources Used:
