A Call to Action – Making Sense of the Chaos

I met the author recently at our conference in Italy – she has doctorates in both psychology and business management, and this book arises out of her own life experience through applying a set of simple universal principles. The first part focuses on the one incorrect belief that underlies our myriad problems, namely that we are separate from each other, and therefore have separate interests. This is reinforced by pervasive fear. However, we exist in both inner and outer worlds and in the process of growth and evolution we come to realise that power is within. The core of the book lies in three principles or realisations:

• Everything in existence is Love expressing intelligently through energy

• Thought (beliefs, attention and intention) directs and forms energy

• The law of attraction and repulsion - we attract what we believe in and repel energy that doesn't fit our beliefs

We are ultimately responsible for the way in which we use our attention and intention and also for the relative contraction or expansion of our consciousness. The second part explains in retrospect how life could look after the transformation of consciousness where people strive to become self-actualised in the sense in which Abraham Maslow expressed it. This applies to religion, business, relationships, lifestyle, health and education. Bobbie sees the major feature of the 21st Century as a transformation of consciousness partly brought about by the pressure we are currently experiencing from the speeding up of technology and the stress it generates as well as disconnecting us from our inner source. Interestingly, she envisages companies run by women CEOs and men as COOs to make the best of feminine and masculine qualities. So the book is an invitation to co-create a new world, beginning with a simple practice of silence and asking questions to help guide our own unfolding process of life - a wise, simple and compassionate contribution.
