Book Description

Publication Date: 1987

Machaelle Small Wright is a spiritual pioneer with the profound ability to "see" and "hear" the invisible forces of nature.

Her personal story is one of triumph, from a childhood of torment and isolation to discovery of her ability to communicate with the world of nature spirits and devas.

At "Perelandra," her 45-acre private nature research center in Virginia, Machaelle devotes her life to understanding and demonstrating a new approach to ecological balance:

* The foundation and development of co-creative gardening * The ecological effects of humans * The roles of the animal, mineral and plant kingdoms * Humankind's unrealized custodianship of Planet Earth

A book beyond theory, Behaving as if the God in ALl Life Mattered will excite the minds and capture the hearts of all who dare to dream of a dynamic world of harmony and compassionate living.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an inspiration..., June 16, 2000

By 

"deelited2" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered (Paperback)

I had *just* finished this author's book on flower essences (another 5-star one in my opinion, though I haven't gotten to writing that review yet), when I felt drawn to reading her personal story. And what a story it is!

Watching her grow from introspective, imaginative child to "how in the world did she survive all that? " teen, to awe-inspiring woman of nature, Machaelle Small Wright takes you on a spiritual journey you will not soon forget. And she does it with wonderful self-effacing humor and a down-to-earth grittiness that draws you toward her, rather than dismissing her as someone unusual. She states we ALL have this potential within us, and I'm prone to believe her (from my own experiences.)

So if you are interested in how to live more in harmony with our world, period, or just like reading a good story--this book has it...Get it. Read it. And never be the same (in a GOOD way! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars We need more books like this, September 10, 2001

This review is from: Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered (Paperback)

I don't want to give anything away but after reading this book, I can only conclude that Machaelle Wright is an extraordinary human who, though she has experienced true hardship, has found an astonishing relationship with nature and the universe. She is thoughtful and spiritual, and nobody's fool! As for her work with nature, she proves that insects are not "pests" but vitally essential to life on Earth and gives a viable alternative to killing or using chemicals to reduce the insect or animal population, an alternative that I have adopted with success! This book has transformed my relationship with the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's this crap about fairies indeed!!!, August 31, 1999

By

This review is from: Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered (Paperback)

Oh my goodness, if you think this is a book just about fairies, or gardening, think again. Actually just get the book, it'll knock your socks off regarding your reality re Nature.. hint.. It's all Nature.. asphalt, polyester, living in Manhattan.. This book will inspire you to reconnect to your roots (ha ha) by redefining the world we live in. MSW's 20 yrs plus contribution to this planet as a co-creative researcher/scientist/gardener is one of the most useful, brilliant, radical, yet seemingly normal tools that you could have to make your life more livable, enjoyable. This book will shift your reality indeed, for the better.
