The world needs a unitive vision that provides hope, optimism, and encouragement to a divided humanity.
After eleven books exploring life stories, personal myth making, mysticism, the collective story of our time, and how we can live into our own story of wholeness, I realized it was time for something more, something that opens the hearts of all people to the urgency of remembering our innate state of unity, harmony, and wholeness that connects us all and keeps us in peaceful relationship with all beings on our planetary home. This inner knowing seems to have been out of reach for eons.
I have written The Way of Unity as an invitation to imagine a world where every person feels seen, valued, and connected, a world guided by compassion, cooperation, and partnerships. This book helps us discover something greater than ourselves – a growing, expanding organic renewal process aligned with evolutionary forces.
This book focuses on the inherently peaceful nature of the entire universe, the unitive principles that reflect and support this wholeness, and the global community that is striving to restore the world to wholeness by applying a model of unity-in-action based on implementing unitive principles in everyday life to build strong, vibrant communities that will become the foundation for a globally scalable culture of peace.
This is the story I want to share with the world. I want to raise a call to action for the regeneration of individuals, communities, institutions, and social structures.
