Kairos - From Exclusivity To Commonalities

With Moral Respect

Beschreibung

At its heart, Kairos is about change and choosing to find our commonalities, the common principles and values shared across cultures and traditions, and building friendships on that common ground rather than focusing on what divides us. Kairos offers a universal cultural and ethical spirituality grounded in shared values such as love, justice, truth, kindness and compassion, and moral respect: a conscious regard for human dignity, cross-cultural unity, and the well-being of our planet, while refusing to endorse beliefs or actions that cause harm. Part One invites you into the Kairos vision, a way of living that honours both the diversity and the common ground of the world's cultural and spiritual traditions. It explores how cross-cultural understanding, spiritual unity, and shared values can guide us toward global peace, compassionate living, and a more respectful and united future. Part Two shares my personal journey of leaving Christianity after decades of ministry and discovering a deeper, freer non-Christian spirituality. It includes the experiences, questions, and discoveries that opened my heart to a broader way of seeing, one that embraces difference without division, and honours the sacred spirit that flows through all. Whether you are questioning faith, seeking a more inclusive path, or simply curious about new ways of living with respect, compassion, and moral integrity, Kairos offers a hopeful alternative, one that invites us into conscious presence, spiritual unity, and a shared vision for a more compassionate world.

Autor

Albert Gentleman is a Canadian-born writer and cultural thinker now based in Western Australia. His life has been one of exploration, resilience, and transformation. Raised Catholic and leaving home at sixteen, Albert developed a deep curiosity about the natural and spiritual worlds. In his twenties, he and his wife built a hobby farm in the Canadian Rockies before dedicating themselves to community development work overseas. Over the next fourteen years, they lived and worked in six Asian countries, immersing themselves in diverse cultures and engaging with people across faiths and traditions. These cross-cultural experiences, combined with extensive study and reflection, eventually led Albert to step away from Christianity in 2013 and embrace a broader, more inclusive spirituality. His book, Kairos, is the fruit of that journey, presenting a vision of universal values such as love, integrity, compassion, truth, and kindness, which he calls Commonalities. These commonalities, Albert has witnessed in all the cultures where he has worked. Part of his work is the concept of the Precious Spirit, a universal presence embodying Love, Light, Life, Nature, and the Fruit of the Spirit. These ideas are offered not as dogma, but as pathways for connection across cultural, spiritual, and even non-spiritual divides. Now retired from international work, Albert is active as a gardener, conservationist, archer and writer. His passion is fostering respect, compassion, and unity in a world too often divided by creed or culture. Kairos weaves together his lived experiences, research, and evolving spiritual reflections into a framework that invites readers to embrace both freedom and responsibility in living ethically and consciously.
