Andrew Harvey on What We Must Do Now
Andrew Harvey is a prolific writer. In my library I have a shelf and then some dedicated entirely to his books. He has always been concerned with the relation of the political to the spiritual, the role of action in the arena of the sacred.
Here is a quote from my all time favorite book by Andrew, "Dialogues with a Modern Mystic," (Andrew Harvey and Mark Matousak).
There is one way and one way only, I believe, that the planet can be saved in time--and that is through a massive worldwide transformation which is simultaneously spiritual and practical, mystical and political. Turning to the light is not in itself, enough. We have also to act as humble tireless agents of the light, with the light in us, behind us, inspiring and guiding us, to act on all possible spiritual and practical fronts, wisely, calmly, and very, very fast.
This book was published more than ten years ago, but its message is even more urgent for us today.
