Publisher's Synopsis
Why don't activism and spirituality work?
These terms evoke different methods, different communities, different realities, but at the root, each must face how and why people change or do not. Each echoes the ancient search for paradise, in the inner world and the outer, in self and society.
Are the expanding divisions, environmental declines, and prevalence of mental illness not reflections of gaps in our process?
This book traces the missing factors to how we relate to our experiences, the mechanisms we never reflect on, because they structure how we see.
The wisdom is out there, the facts, the technology, advance. However, our efforts often fail to translate into cooperation, compassion, progress. And it is always someone else's fault. Or is it?
We return from every transcendent experience, every shower of information, and confirmation of righteousness, to a mindset of division-a mindset that cannot see itself and how the patterns of this world are its result.
This is not a battle for what you should believe. It is an invitation to expand your options.
We dream at the horizon of our civilization's destiny. This is a process, a bridge, a view, beyond the divide.
