“This is a fascinating and involving study of the cosmic, karmic and
etheric dimensions of politics, world affairs and current events.
Drawing from the great spiritual traditions, practices and practitioners,
McLaughlin and Davidson meticulously present the role of metaphysics in the
political realm. Looking to ancient wisdom for answers to today’s
social, economic and environmental ills, they offer a new paradigm of
transformational politics: making the political personal through spiritual
practice and using this transformational paradigm to change the world from
the inside out. (“We must transform ourselves if we intend to
transform the world.”) In uniting politics with spirituality, the authors
describe their concept of the Divine (including reincarnation and a
transhuman “Invisible Government” of spiritual guides) in the solemn tone of
scholarly reportage. Information-intensive and chock full of
empowering suggestions, intriguing stories and uplifting examples of how
individuals and groups can make an impact, this thought-provoking assemblage
is an enriching, mind-opening book for seekers of spiritual wisdom and
political solutions.”
