Spiritual Power

Book excerpt: How can we use spiritual power to heal and transform the world? In this new, fully revised edition, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee shows how spiritual activism addresses our current global crisis in a visionary and revolutionary way. He reintroduces us to the ancient wisdom of the power of the land, as well as the ways we can use our light and love to create real change. Spiritual Power: How It Works explores how spiritual practice and spiritual energy have a central part to play as a catalyst in the vitally needed shift from the story of separation—that lies at the root of our present ecocide—to a new story of the Earth's multihued unity. This is practical mysticism on a global level, the simple wisdom that can reconnect us to the magic of life and awaken us to its essential oneness. “If you want to learn how to be in service to the planet, Spiritual Power is an invaluable book. Vaughan-Lee shows us how we can direct our energy and light to create change. He shares his deep and profound insights about the true definition of power in a way that creates questions and answers as we move to the next evolution of consciousness. A brilliant and much needed book!” —Sandra Ingerman, author, Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth “A poetic and energetic vision of a new way to experience life—the power of the future made present today. It is a joy and relief to read a book about spirituality written from the viewpoint of unity, presence, and love. This is an important book, one that looks toward the integration of the wisdoms of the earth and sky cultivated over the past 15,000 years. Vaughan-Lee suggests that in order to liberate the love, life, and laughter that are already ours, we need to break down any artificial, conceptual, religious, or materialist barriers that prevent us from experiencing them.” —Neil Douglas-Klotz, Ph.D., author, The Genesis Meditations: A Shared Practice of Peace for Christians, Jews, and Muslims “... a visionary book and a daring one! Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is a rare and hidden mystic of our time, a true seer who helps us to see that which our ordinary perception cannot perceive.... (a) courageous vision of the gravity of the modern predicament as well as the profound possibility for healing on a large scale.... conveys the importance of each individuals contribution to this healing, and passionately urges us to take responsibility for our own hidden knowledge and our necessary role in healing the planet ... a revolutionary book for the bravest of hearts and the most open of minds.” —Mariana Caplan, Ph.D., author, Halfway Up the Mountain: the Error of Premature Claims to Enlightenment
