Start At Common Ground
The pathworking traditions each have a set of teachings. They all serve a similar purpose to help you connect with deeper things while you are in your normal daily state of mind.

Beyond the realm of the spirit, there is the place of no wind. Nirvana and there is a place beyond even the ancients. The place of first creation, first home, deep home.
