Those who seek to learn singing as an art, as also speakers who study voice production discover, if they have an enquiring mind, that several different systems and methods exist and that the advocates of each way often commend their own and criticize the others. Systems conflict, methods contradict, teachers disagree. Such a situation prevails also, to a certain extent, in the circles of spiritual and metaphysical theories and training. But most of these doctrines can, again to a certain extent, be reconciled if it is recognized that because human beings are not all alike, the approaches they use to the spiritual goal also need not be alike. Routes may differ, destinations remain the same. The belief that the seeker must restrict himself to a particular named way only, is a narrow one. It oversimplifies the truth at the cost of truth.
