Description

Can awakened consciousness contribute to social change and, if so, how?

David Nicol introduces the concept of "subtle activism" to describe the use of consciousness-based practices like meditation and prayer to support collective transformation, such as global meditation directed toward peaceful resolution of a conflict.

Subtle activism represents a bridge between the consciousness movement and the movements for peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

It is not a substitute for physical action but rather a potentially crucial component of a more integrated approach to social change.

Although ancient lore is rife with tales of shamans and adepts intervening on spiritual levels for the benefit of humanity, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of this topic.

Nicol grounds his consideration in the available scientific research and in dialogue with a broad range of thinkers in the fields of consciousness studies, transpersonal theory, and New Paradigm thought.
