Spiritual politics - Corinne McLaughlin

Today, many people committed to politics feel powerless to make a difference. And those people committed to spiritual principles feel they have no voice in influencing the tide of world events. This book counters feelings of alienation by challenging us to apply the wisdom of the world's greatest spiritual tradition to today's pressing economic and social problems.;This book shifts the focus of political dialogue from the evening news to the hidden spiritual causes of world affairs. We begin to understand what events like the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the national health crisis can tell us about the deeper forces at work - including karma, reincarnation, and the soul of nations. The key is recognizing the divine hand behind human evolution. In the face of profound human crises, we learn to ask what spiritual lessons are being taught.;This book's metaphysical perspective demonstrates how the principles of spiritual politics are being practiced in the workplace and in government. More importantly, it shows that each individual's inner work - meditation, prayer, visualization - can affect the outer world. Because there is something each of us can do right here, right now, to change the world.
