Award-winning author James O'Dea has created a handbook for those interested in Sacred Activism, a fusing spiritual knowledge with radical action. O'Dea outlines the polarities between the inner path of spiritual growth and the outer path of social activism, concluding that the two must co-exist in equal weighting so that the human race can become a compassionate force for good. 'James O’Dea is a modern-day prophet who has journeyed further than anyone I know in the ways of peace' Lynne Twist 'The Conscious Activist is a major contribution to the most important movement of our time - one that fuses profound spiritual awareness with radical action. It is wise and passionate and superbly written, with the kind of graceful but pungent clarity that only long experience can engender' Andrew Harvey 'After reading The Conscious Activist, you will drop to your knees in heart-opening awe and then you will rise to your feet, inspired to act in a truly transformational way' Marianne Williamson An extraordinary and rousing manifesto from award-winning author James O’Dea, The Conscious Activist is both a compelling narrative and a deep reflection on the demands of mystical realization and effective activism. Throughout the book, O'Dea poses that an integration of the two has the power to permanently transform the social order and to wake up humanity from its course of rapid self-destruction. Divided into two parts, Part I offers parallel narratives of author James O’Dea’s training and spiritual development as both a mystic and an activist. The mystic, he explains, must move past petty ego concerns in order to experience oneness with each other and our divine source. The activist, on the other hand, explores the role of passion and conscience in activating social change. In Part II, O’Dea pursues this fascinating concept of a meeting ground between the two worlds, where spirituality and action unite to spark an accelerated transition towards our greater goal: a more evolved civilization. He asks us all to become conscious activists – to learn, collectively, how to move beyond our rigid conformity to beliefs of the past and its archaic structures of power and control.

This book provides a constructive criticism of the emerging practice of conscious capitalism from the perspective of world religions and spiritualities. Conscious capitalism, to many of its adherents, represents an evolutionary step forward beyond the dominant neo-liberal paradigm, where it often appears that just about everything is for sale. Is conscious capitalism consistent with the values inherent in religious and spiritual world-views and does it provide a better fit for bringing out the best that business has to offer? This book answers these questions and many more. An appealing read for researchers in business ethics as well as any reader critical of the excrescences of capitalism.

At first glance, it may seem to be an invitation for philosophical reflection. However, appealing to its loyal readers, the author hopes for understanding and perception of the question in a broader or if you want a deeper awareness of it. Philosophical concepts offer us sensually contemplative, mostly associative images regarding this or that question. The author also proposes us in this work, as a logical continuation of previous volumes, the detailed practical perspectives of personality’s development into the True Human, who cognises his own spirituality. In addition to the mechanisms of work with own Self-Consciousness, which will lead people as a Humans to personal conscious Immortality, ORIS describes our «future Worlds», prospects of manifestations of approaching times. But in order for everyone to obtain an understanding of their own Path, the awareness of chosen spiritual development, the author not only talks about "bright" prospects, but also describes in detail the obstacles that each of us may face. When not noticing or not specifying the nature of these obstacles, unconsciously and under influence of those or other reasons, a person may deviate away from Human Development direction. With this book you will be able to determine the qualities that are truly inherent in people, and will be able to finally figure out how to develop these qualities, which are the real Human qualities — with a capital letter. Having experienced the high-sensual Intellect, you will understand why only by using the high-intellectual Altruism you can find the Path to the cherished Goal of your spiritual future!
