This book is for the reader who has a sense that the adaptive response to these epic times is the power of love. Each element of the writing builds on the next, blending discourse with inner awakening, making available a truly transformational endeavor. For the reader who is new, yet drawn to practical spirituality, Power of Love builds the understanding and experience they need in a step by step way that is easy to apply. For the reader who has been at it a while, we have a way to sort out the chaff from the wheat and filter mental and metaphysical noise from the clear signal of foundational love. For the seasoned reader, who has had the fortune of good teachers and has done superb self-work, we provide refinement and an extended application of what they already know. Based on the Power of Love Mystery School, the three book sections reflect the three modules of the curriculum: Inner Teacher, Changing Beliefs, Cosmology. Finally, the Appendix is a journey into the power of dialogue as a force of transformation. With the right intention, the material in the book can be read, worked and experienced by you the reader as a transformative journey. You can be a reader/participant, as it were. If invited, the spiritual presence of the Power of Love Mystery School will collaborate with you as a living teacher, as you increasingly access the living and ancient mystery that you are. Each chapter resonates with higher consciousness in which the reader enters a learning experience of the reader, the author, and Spirit. Spirit is a big word and an even bigger reality, which includes each of us learning to live in a way that is fully responsive to the presence of Living Love, and the actualization of self into Soul Consciousness. The challenge, then, in translating the mystery school reality into a book requires an invitation to the reader to participate in the content of the book as transmission as well as information. The many ways and means of the Power of Love is an essential foundation to all understanding and the unfolding of all mystery. Through it all, we keep in the presence, which is the embodiment of living love, as the agency of personal and planetary transformation. The intimate and safe atmosphere that arises in the participatory reading clears the way and opens the doors to the spiritual integrity of each of us. We are held and guided by the intrinsic cosmic will: love will have its way. (www.livinginthepresence.net)
