Before Expansion, There Was Holding: Why the World Learned God and Awakening Differently

What if the great spiritual traditions were never in conflict, but were responding to different human necessities? From Moses’ language of containment to Yeshua’s return to the heart, and from Eastern liberation through expansion to Western survival through cohesion, this reflection explores why wisdom entered the world through different doors. Moving first through careful analysis and then into a more distilled resonance, the piece invites the reader to consider law, love, contraction, and awakening not as opposites, but as stages in a single human maturation.
