We want people to be able to hear on themes of perennial philosophy , comparative religion, and the deeper aspect of the mystical path in the traditions and to do this in a way that will be accessible on the internet through the spoken word with the emphasis of going back to tradition. In a certain way this new medium can be used in a postmodern way to actually go back to the pre-modern realities, to traditional realities and to traditional ways of expressing this wonderful truth that have been giving to all of us by the Almighty through all of our traditions and cultures.
