What if every religion said the same thing?
85 traditions. 50,000 years. 22 shared principles.
None of them knew about each other.
Richard P. Wolf spent years researching the world’s religions to argue against them. Instead, he found something he could not explain away.
Eighty-five traditions — ancient and living, written and oral, from every inhabited continent — independently arrived at the same structural values. Not similar. The same. Every civilization that lasted long enough to leave a record organized itself around the same twenty-two principles.
The Ground Beneath is the documentation of that discovery.
