In 1966 I began to follow up on my interest in Buddhism inspired by Allan Watts' books, meditation and studies of Martial Arts. From 1962 to 1964 I worked with a Japanese couple on Zen gardens in the summer. In 1971 I became a Baha'i with strong Buddhist/Taoist leaning. I have continued to study Martial Arts, Theology and Philosophy since.
Many here will argue scripture, and history of Christianity as to which church, churches, or Christianity as a whole represents the universal message of salvation. I Consider the whole history of humanity, science, and what is the nature of being human spiritual and physical in understanding is what the nature universal. A significant part of the problem concerning what is the universal as far as the spiritual nature of the universal is that too many different religions, churches, and other diverse groups made universal claims concerning what they believed to be true, and from a less biased perspective there was no justification to picking one over the many other possible choices, particularly those with claims grounded in ancient paradigms.
