We are bombarded by so much change that many today live with chronic stress. Accelerated change assaults our nervous system and makes us long for a place to rest. Fortunately for us, underneath all the storms of life lies the Net of Light. What scientists call the Cosmic Web cradles everything--including us—in its comforting embrace, reminding us that we are not insignificant, separate entities, but are an intrinsic part of the fabric of life that supports our planet. This Net or Web holds us, penetrates the cells of our bodies, and reaches throughout the cosmos. “This is the Net of Light,” the Grandmothers say, “that will hold the earth during the times of change that are upon you.” Held in this Net of Love and Light, we can also hold one another and our beloved planet. Here is a place to rest.
The Grandmothers are female ancestors who communicate with Sharon McErlane during meditation sharing wisdom, most notably that love is what it is all about. Anyone who has read spiritual development books knows that love is the answer in 99% of them. To simply love another person as they are, ourselves as we are, is "the answer". However, we live in a culture where more, more, more is the answer. The latest app, the latest car, the latest counter top and so on. As a result we always feel lack. If we can change perspective we might see that a cheerful greeting, the offer of a helping hand unexpectedly, or simply sitting in nature can bring us the satisfaction we seek. The Grandmothers give countless examples in this book of that very thing and, repeatedly, encourage us to move from fear based living to a loving living.
First of all: it's a good thing mcErlane wants to spread the word on the net of light. This is a good thing. But if you want to help fixing the net of light and restore yin energy against the yang energy: reading only the last chapter will do. The rest of the book are a 250 pages full of hallucinations and a river of the author's doubt and fear: not quite pleasant to read.
