"The task of the troubadour has always been to listen to the wind and anticipate the future, to discern the fine nuances of a spiritual age and to play the dual roles of receiver and transmitter. My many years as a songwriter and performer have encouraged me to go ahead and petition the hidden spirit within nature to reveal its inspirations and imaginations." ― Susan Raven In this lucid, step-by-step guide, Susan Raven introduces us to the world of nature spirits and elemental beings, explaining why those entities wish to reconnect with us. By working with the elementals―which reside in the elements of earth, water, air, and fire―we can become responsible co-creators at this critical time in our evolution. The future of humanity and the Earth may depend on such a positive and reciprocal relationship. Raven investigates the nature of the accelerated, evolutionary wave of consciousness pulsing into Earth at the present time, and how its effects are helping us forge a new link with the spiritual and etheric worlds. It is in the ether―where the dissolving and coalescing forces behind physical matter exist―that we find the kingdom of the nature spirits. Making use of her personal experiences, Susan describes the activities of these beings in the landscape, in plants and in human beings. She presents meditations and exercises to prepare us for a meeting with the nature spirits, and emphasizes the importance of working with the elemental kingdom in our immediate environment. “Much that seems today simply part of the order of nature, to be relied on as a matter of course, will before very long begin to fail if men do not bring to it their active help in return for all that they themselves have received.” ― Adam Bittleston The path of personal development outlined in Nature The Remembrance features a wide range of insightful testimony from some of the most well respected seers, with particular emphasis on the work of Rudolf Steiner.
In this book the author explores and seeks to modernize the classic 4 elements of the west by applying physics to our understanding of the elements. It’s an interesting book with some unique insights, though at times it reads more as an advert of Rudolf Steiner’s work. I get that the author admires his work, but I wanted to read more of her own work with what she shares, in relationship to the elemental spirits. I did find the meditations interesting, but some practical exercises would have also been nice.
I enjoyed this book so much. The books deals with the elements , earth, water , air and fire. The first part of the book shows how science supports the elements. The example the book uses is how a tree works to grow. The second part of the book shows how you can have a spiritual practice with the elements. The third part is how you can connect with them inside. I got this as an ebook and I have highlighted, bookmarked and added notes throughout the book. This book will be a reread.
