As Western culture struggles with its addiction to a tragically limited and negative worldview, evidence of our shaman-mystic-scientist past, persistently repressed by Church and State, is emerging with the blueprint for our evolution. This blueprint is revealed in the heart wisdom of the mystic and in the new science of quantum physics. Both nurture and support the sacred knowledge of our immortality, divinity, and creativity. This is the wisdom of the whole mind — the visionary and the rational, the feminine and the masculine, the mystic and the scientist. This is the consciousness that is changing the world.
Merchants of Light returns to us these spiritual secrets on which our survival now depends:
- Our soul stories that carry the blueprint for our evolution
- The sacred knowledge that we are immortal, divine, and creative
- The wisdom of the heart that was nurtured by the ancient shaman-mystic-scientist cultures and is now being validated by the new science
