Introduction:

Welcome, spiritual seekers and explorers! The aim of the Divine Unity Exploration and Studies Institute is to share fresh perceptions of the subtle and mysterious inner meanings hidden within the world’s Sacred Scriptures. The DUES Institute makes no claim to authoritative interpretation or understanding, and recognizes that the Word of God contains myriad meanings.

How were these ideas developed?

Ray Pflueger Estes started his spiritual journey raised by an extremely conservative father, and after a rebellious teenage period became a born-again Christian. Later, he was excommunicated from his church for not believing in Christian exclusivity. Two years later he found and embraced Baha’i Faith. The course documents, podcasts and videos on this website share Ray’s extraordinary journey and the insights that came him as he explored the beauty of the Divine Unity in the Scriptures of the Abrahamic Faiths.
