Power

Subtitled 'our evolutionary path to the Divine Creative Field', this book draws widely from science and spiritual traditions, especially the Bhagavad-Gita, to formulate a developmental path for an age that has lost its centre and become absorbed in external distractions. It begins with an exploration of the scientific frontier, principally in physics, observing that there is one unified field of energy, that everything is connected and has an effect upon the entire field. These insights are paralleled in an exploration of religious traditions, both being imbued with a holistic vision. Having set the scene, the author explains her concept of the soul and how important it is to achieve ever-greater alignment and coherence in order to moved to higher levels of evolutionary progress at a time when society as a whole seems to be going in the opposite direction. The following chapters discuss love, fear, free will and trust before moving on to a more detailed consideration of the physical, emotional and mental bodies. So far as fear is concerned, we are encouraged to see it as an illusion and hit the delete button before walking on fearlessly. Then we can install a new programme 'based on a loving, unattached, wise acceptance of all'. The culmination of the book is a chapter on the passage to power and the Holy Grail summarising the three things we need to know, namely acknowledging and aligning with our soul, surrendering to the divine will and thence coming to know and love the Divine. There follows an important meditative exercise taking practitioners through the physical, emotional and mental bodies to greater alignment with the soul. The book finishes with a summary of the benefits of relationship with the Divine. It is a long journey, but eminently worthwhile and enriched with many apposite scriptural quotations.
