Curriculum development for spiritual education to promote religious reconciliation on a global scale must be based upon an understanding of the totality of human behavior. Purely psychological models are deemed inadequate for this purpose. Human behavior spans from unbounded love and unity in the undifferentiated ultimate domain on one side to extreme hatred and division in the differentiated relative on the other. Psycho-spiritual models from wisdom traditions seem to better reflect the entire spectrum of human cognition, worldviews, concerns, values, and behavior. This article discusses such a model which is based on a synthesis of various wisdom and spiritual traditions.
