The ultimate unity of spiritual teachings, which some profess to see, applies rather to spiritual experience. As soon as the mystic attempts to understand, interpret, or communicate his experience, differences set in. This is partly because the intellect gets to work, partly because he unconsciously obeys the bias given him by the nature of his past experience, study, education, and environment, and partly because he may not have undergone the philosophic discipline to its fullest extent.
