Sacred Demise is about the transformation of human consciousness and the emergence of a new paradigm as a result discovering our purpose in the collapse process, thereby coming home to our ultimate place in the universe. Our willingness to consciously embark on the journey with openness and uncertainty may be advantageous for engendering a quantum evolutionary leap for our species and for the earth community.\u003cp\u003e Carolyn Baker is tireless in her quest to understand and speak about the collapse of civilization. Her message is simple: our journey through collapse will be as much a spiritual one as a physical one, a journey back from profound disconnection to the sacred. And so our emotional, psychological and spiritual preparations will be as important as the gardens we plant, the healing skills we acquire, and the actions we take in defense of the community of life. A book of tools and exercises to help with that preparation, then, is a welcome and much-needed addition to the literature of collapse.--Tim Bennett and Sally Erickson, Writer and Producer of the documentary What A Way To Go: Life At the End of Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Carolyn speaks with a confidence that never flinches from entering into the hardest truths of our times, or from the most difficult truths about the culture we are immersed in, so that we might emerge from the chrysalis of global crisis with open hearts and a renewed way of living on Earth together.--Juan Santos, Fourth World Blogspot\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582223098129,"sku":"GOR002504483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50001348788497,"sku":"CIN1440119724G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50580168114449,"sku":"CIN1440119724VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51026197971217,"sku":"NIN9781440119729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52487013564689,"sku":"NLS9781440119729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53363959824657,"sku":"GOR009569671","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1440119724.jpg?v=1751338315"},{"product_id":"collapsing-consciously-book-carolyn-baker-phd-9781583947128","title":"Collapsing Consciously","description":"A collection of probing essays and weekly meditations, this book addresses how to prepare emotionally and spiritually for the impending collapse of industrial civilization. Author Carolyn Baker offers wisdom, inspiration, and a sense of spiritual purpose for anyone who is concerned about the daunting future humankind has created.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The author's introduction to\u003ci\u003eCollapsing Consciously\u003c\/i\u003earticulates our current predicament of economic collapse, environmental degradation, and global conflict and expresses the confusion, anxiety, grief, anger, and despair we all experience when we take a hard look at the present-day global crisis and the likely future of the planet. But rather than showing us ways to prevent the collapse, Baker argues that the demise of our consumerist, corporate culture is inevitable, and that it is crucial to prepare emotionally and spiritually for the certain changes to come.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part 1 is a collection of seventeen essays which argue that while the collapse of industrial society cannot be prevented, its meaning extends far beyond tragedy and loss. These essays ask the reader to delve inward and discover the limitless treasures of the soul, as well as the gratification and exhilaration to be discovered in joining with community in preparing for the future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In part 2, Baker offers fifty-two weekly meditations comprised of spiritual wisdom, inspiration, paradox, comfort, humor, irony, and a persistent challenge to create and savor beauty in the world, regardless of how bleak the future may appear.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCollapsing Consciously\u003c\/i\u003eis a refreshing take on the perilous present and the grim prospects for our future. Instead of quoting discouraging statistics about our predicament, Baker offers a deeper perspective that makes sense of a world that most of the time appears psychotic or even surreal. Through inspiration and perennial wisdom she has created a manual for making meaning and generating joy, especially in situations that feel hopelessly devoid of both.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An ebook containing additional meditations is also available-\u003ci\u003eCollapsing Consciously Meditations- Further Reflections for Turbulent Times\u003c\/i\u003e, ISBN 978-1-58394-758-6.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734753681681,"sku":"NGR9781583947128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50001348722961,"sku":"CIN1583947124G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50224607723793,"sku":"GOR008051962","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50407037632785,"sku":"GOR013538505","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50838930161937,"sku":"GOR012126679","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1583947124.jpg?v=1751342470"},{"product_id":"dark-gold-book-carolyn-baker-ph-d-9781532037658","title":"Dark Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eDark Gold: The Human Shadow and the Global Crisis endeavors to educate, challenge, and most importantly, inspire the reader to engage with the personal and collective shadow as a necessary first step in both individual and planetary healing.
