5.0 out of 5 stars Dorothy Maclean Continues Her Story, July 19, 2002

This review is from: Choices of Love (Paperback)

Dorothy Maclean, one of the cofounders of the Findhorn Foundation, writes of her experiences during the fifteen years after she published "To Hear The Angels Sing," her book telling of that community. She tells of her search for The Beloved, her name for "the eternal, complete love." She describes the love in all things -- plants, animals, rocks, trees, cities, fire -- as well as in humans. At Findhorn, she and others learned to use their powers of love to contact nature spirits, known as devas. The story of how she progressed in her ability to attune to nature spirits makes fascinating reading. For those like me who seem to take a long time to reach these levels, it is encouraging to know her learning took many years.
Maclean left Findhorn to return to her native Canada to apply her learning to ordinary living. She finds when she attunes to a situation with love, the solution is presented. When she accepts a fault or darker quality in herself, she feels divine love. I like the way she describes seeking balance in polarities. Part 2 of the book is devoted to her experiences with the souls of nature; how she contacts the divine essences of plants, volcanoes, hurricanes, the identities and souls of countries. She encourages us to do the same with loving contact, and assures us this is the way the planet will be saved. Her earlier book impressed me deeply. I enjoyed reentering her story and learning how she has continued to grow in love and consciousness through the years.

Dorothy Maclean is that wonderful combination of a profound mystic and a loving, down-to-earth person who embodies the best of a spiritual tradition. A book by her is always a special feast of insights, and this book, her first after too many years, is no exception. I commend its spirit and its richness to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous!, October 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Choices of Love (Paperback)

If you enjoyed her earlier books about Findhorn, plant spirits, devas, etc., you will LOVE this book! She goes into greater detail about how each tree, each house, each town, each nation, etc., has its own protective, guiding spirit or deva. A very comforting, enlightening and marvelous book.
