Soul Awakening Practice:

Prayer, Contemplation and Action

This is a prayer book for evolutionaries and activists, for deep ecologists, for spiritual seekers engaged in passionate renewal, and for all those thirsty for a spiritually coherent worldview. 

The Soul Awakening Prayer is a repeated mantra. With repetition, it reveals a spiritual universe of both power and beauty. Written by James O’Dea, the former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and member of the Evolutionary Leaders Group. The Soul Awakening Prayer not only includes the prayer itself but a section on the power of payer as well as expanded contemplative line-by-line reflections and explanations by James. 

To provide varying perspectives on this new world view there are commentaries by key luminaries from science, cosmology, evolutionary theory, Yoga, Sufism, and indigenous wisdom. Offering a map that integrates ancient wisdom, modern science and psychology, and the moral imperative for spiritual engagement in individual and societal transformation. The Soul Awakening Prayer reveals a deeply coherent worldview. Be receptive and allow the prayer to illuminate each insight and experience your own unique journey of awakening.

Your heart is not your own.

Ownership is an attribute of mind. There is only one heart in the whole universe. It is the same heart experienced in different degrees by all life. A New Earth is possible when we drop into the freedom of our shared heart. But if we stay on the balcony of the mind - we will only end up painting the same old wounds on a dark and crowded canvas of the future. - James O'Dea
