Replying to LO8760 --

John Paul Fullerton posted a deeply felt and well documented comparison
that closely equates the Fifth Discipline with Christian beliefs. As a
Christian I am uncomfortable with the post, perhaps it is my problem.

My discomfort is rooted in awareness that the five disciplines can be
found in all major religious and philosophies. In fact the Eastern
religions probably place more emphasis on self mastery than does Christian
practice or thought.

I would like the subject of this thread widened to seek parallelisms with
Hindu, Buddhism, and Islamic thought. IMO this would add richness and
value to this thread and to an understanding of the human journey
envisioned in the Fifth Discipline.
