Dear friends and travelers on the eternal path,
The Seven Pillars House of Wisdom recently published a collection of our favorite essays from the Seven Pillars website. Journeys and Awakenings: Wisdom for Spiritual Travelersis now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local independent bookstore in paperback format. It’s also available in Kindle format.
Journeys and Awakenings should make for great summer reading! It includes almost fifty short chapters from a wide variety of eminent authors. What ties them together is their deep appreciation for the universal kinship at the heart of all spiritual and religious traditions. Each essay lights a path to a different place of wonder within us. Whether it is an astrophysicist asking if the universe has an inner life, or a spiritual activist working with runaway teens at a New York City bus station, this is a book which feeds our highest aims.
The book includes a Foreword by Pir Zia, as well as a “trialogue” between Pir Zia, David Spangler and William Irwin Thompson.
Here’s what people have written in Amazon reviews:
*Journeys and Awakenings will be a surprise for anyone whose idea of the mystical traditions of the world takes them to be entirely focused on the inner and the personal. Many of the short readings in this fascinating volume do fall into that category, but many draw strong links between inner spiritual states and the concrete, practical, and sensory worlds.
- Jane Beckett*
*The volume is really more than a book, much more like a companion anyone would welcome on her or his journey through life.
- Eugene Pool*
I hope you will check it out! And if you can, please share this news with your friends, and join us on Instagram and Facebook.
