Throughout the ages prophets have come and gone, each speaking a Universal message of Justice, Peace and Submission to the Laws of Nature, and the Will of the Divine. Over the years after their departure, the followers of their teachings (some sincere in intention and some seeking power, fortune and fame), bound them to the surrounding cultures and dogmas, thus making the original teachings seem almost indistinguishable from the surrounding societies' cultural baggage. Dismayed with this, the prevailing reaction (of those who become painstakingly aware of this cultural bias and religious bastardization of the original religion of Nature), is often withdraw from the spiritual and the core teachings of the prophets completely. But this has left a spiritual emptiness, not only within the hearts of those particular individuals, but also within the prevailing Western cultures which they are often a part of...
Nevertheless, throughout the ages the Message has never changed, only the times, cultures, languages and the like have. The religion, Way or "Spiritual Path" (Deen) of the Prophets has always been the same, echoing throughout the ages. This message was ultimately one of Peace, Shalom, Salaam, and their teachings were a guide to how to arrive at true and lasting Peace, both internal to ourselves, and externally, throughout our surrounding societies.
From this same root word of "Peace," the Hebrew word for equanimity is "Hashlamah" which is directly related to the word for Completeness or "Shlemut", and the three letter root "Shaleym", meaning "to be full" or "complete."
In English, "Equanimity" derives from the Latin word "aequus" meaning balanced, and "animus" meaning spirit or internal state. This is the Faith of ALL Prophets, from Avraham (Abraham), to Moshe (Moses), to Yashuah (Jesus).
