DESCRIPTION:
Definitly worth a read Kindle Customer So far it was interesting but I haven't finished yet.. Glenn Aparicio Parry said A Profound Journey of Discovery. There are too many books in the world filled with information. The Conscious Activist is filled with inspiration. It is a book for the ages, a book a tree would gladly give its life for. To read it is to step into a field of infinite wisdom. The writing is of a high level; it feels as if it were channeled from Spirit through the author to us largely unchanged. Rarely, if ever, does the ego of the author interfere with the transmissio. Profound and Important Every so often a book comes along that you feel is just so right for the times; such a book is The Conscious Activist. At a time when acts of violence of unspeakable brutality seem to be proliferating, not only in distant war-torn lands, but even in our usually peaceful communities, we are at a loss to make sense of them – much less to know how to stop them.As a front-line activist and head of the Washington office of Amnesty I

He asks us all to become conscious activists – to learn, collectively, how to move beyond our rigid conformity to beliefs of the past and its archaic structures of power and control.. Winner of the 2015 COVR Award for "Best Conscious Living Book"!An extraordinary and rousing manifesto from award-winning author James O’Dea, The Conscious Activist is both a compelling narrative and a deep reflection on the demands of mystical realization and effective activism. Divided into two parts, Part I offers parallel narratives of author James O’Dea’s training and spiritual development as both a mystic and an activist. The activist, on the other hand, explores the role of passion and conscience in activating social change. The mystic, he explains, must move past petty ego concerns in order to experience oneness with each other and our divine source. In Part II, O’Dea pursues this fascinating concept of a meeting ground between the two worlds, where spirituality and action unite to spark an accelerated transition towards our greater goal: a more evolved civilization. Throughout the book, O'Dea poses that an integration of the two has the power to permanently transform the social order and to wake up humanity from its course of rapid self-destruction
