Living in the light is about the transformation of consciousness within each individual and in the world. The author,Shakti Gawain, makes use of the terms "old world " and "new world" throughout the book as a way of referring to the old way of life that we are leaving behind and the new one that we are creating. Many people, especially those who live in the western hemisphere, find that these times may be distressing, because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse.  She explains how "relationships in the old world have an external focus-we try to make ourselves whole and happy by getting something from outside ourselves.  Inevitably, this expectation results in disappointment, resentment, and frustration.  Either these feelings build up constantly and cause continual strife, or they are surpressed and lead to emotional numbness.  Still we cling to relationships out of emotional insecurity, or go from one to another searching for that missing piece that we haven'

Living in the light is about the transformation of consciousness within each individual and in the world.

For many people, this time may be distressing, because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse.  She indicates how our established religious institutions support the fear of the intuition, nonrational self.  Once based on a deep awareness of the universal creative principle in evey being, many religions only pay lip service to that idea now. Instead, they seek to control the behavior of their devotees, using elaborate rule structures purported to save people from their deep, irrational, and basically "sinful" natures. She states that generally, "less technically developed societies approach life with a deep awareness of and respect for the intuitive element of existence.

He writes with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters and imparts a simple yet profound message: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. He is the author of Stillness Speaks, Practicing the Power of Now and A New Earth ( Awakening to Your Life's Purpose)  To make the journer into The Power of Now..we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of this extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher attitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Although the journey is challenging, Echart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us.  A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publicati

In this Lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begans in New York, when Barack Obama learns that his father, a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man-has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey-first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retaces the imigration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. "As spiritual warriors seriously interested in uplifting the consciousness of this planet, we must always remember that everyone values love above anything else.  In all circumstances, a person's words and deeds are either exchanges of love or cries for love. "

At the age of 68 and one who has been a vegetarian for over twenty five years, I am compelled to share this topic of discussion , with the hope of inspiring "Food for Thought" Baba Tehuti Wesley Gray A quote from Isaac Bashevis Singer "Whether the mass of people accept the vegetarian interpretation of religion or not really doesn't matter. At least not in my life. I accept it implicitly. Of course, it would be wonderful if the world adopted vegetarianism, on religious grounds or any other. But this is not likely. I am a skeptic, it's true, but I am also realistic. In any event, what the people in general do will not affect me. I will continue to be a vegetarian even if the whole world started to eat meat. This is my protest agains the conduct of the world. To be a vegetarian is to disagree - to disagree with the course of things today. Nuclear power, starvation, cruelty - we must make a statement against these things. Vegetarianism is my statement. And I think it's a strong one. Author Steven Rosen make

  "Our egocentric behavior is driven by lust and appears in countless forms.

"There are not many subjects today that generate such interest, speculation and conjecture as the pyramids. For centuries the best archeologists, pyramidologists, and Egyptologists have had difficulty explaining them. The approach taht will be taken is not a typical historical or sociological evaluation. Our goal is not to subtract from the significant amount ot research that has been done in this area by competent scholars. Instead,we want to take you to another direction, one that examines the spiritual implication of the pyramids" Bhakti Tirtha Swami (February 25,1950 –June 27,2005) (previously known as John Favors and Toshombe Abdul) also known as Swami Krishnapada.] As an African American seeker who rose from the improverished condition of an Cleveland getto to become a global spiritual leader,  Bhakti Tirtha Swami met with prominent world figures such as Mohammed Ali,  Nelson Mandela  and Zambia's president Kenneth Kaunda.

"In today's world, we are surrounded by environments so hostle to our human and spiritual growth that higher truths cannot easily penetrate our consciousness. Yet these truths are just what we need.
