What a Gift This Book Is
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This amazing book begins with the author exploring with seven women and one man what the feminine consciousness is, why it's coming in now, what its role is and how it will help reshape our world. I can't tell if all eight of these people have reached enlightenment, but if not, they are well on their path, with each having their own spiritual journey and discipline. The book ends with those interviwed saying such similar things, concentrating on four areas: exploring the feminine consciousness, what's important about spiritual practices, the need to go beyond transcendence to transformation in everyday life (and in a balanced way), and finally where we're headed because of our bringing in the feminine consciousness and transformation. It is with heart-felt gratitude to the author for writing this book.

Something subtle is happening in the world
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Something subtle and insistent is happening in the world and Hilary Hart in her impressionistic interview style captures its essence. To comprehend the book requires the reader to still the analytical mind and tap into the realm of the intuitive. Approach follows theme. Spiritual guides and teachers from a variety of traditions illuminate the sometimes vague,dark, powerful, tantilizing, and mysterious force that promise the return of something precious that has long been supressed.
Mystical truth accessible to everyone!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
What an awesome book! Author Hilary Hart offers intimate and really moving encounters with eight contemporary and mostly hidden mystics from different backgrounds, like Buddhism, and Sufism. It was amazing to read the ways so many different people can come to experience the divine. What sets this apart from so many spiritual books is it brings divinity down to earth wihtout losing the divinity! And finally, a spiritual writer who finds a way to be honest and real, herself. Not an ounce of pretension!!!
