This compilation of the mystical writings of Hadewijch of Antwerp is best described, in Andrew Harvey's words, as a "heroic song" of love. The book presents an honest picture of love from every angle, stripped of sentimentality, not disguising the high price love demands if it is to be taken or given seriously.
In a world torn by division, indifference and chaos, to read Love is Everything is to be awakened to the full potential and dignity of being human, and to be changed. Hadewijch of Antwerp was one of Christianity's greatest Christian mystics, a Beguine who lived in the 13th century.
Andrew Harvey is a world-renowned poet, novelist, translator, mystical scholar, spiritual teacher, and the founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism. He saw in Hadewijch's writings a promise and hope for a broken world and felt called to make it accessible to more people by presenting it in daily-reading format.
Over the course of little more than 50 years--what in terms of
human history might even be called a "nanosecond"--computers have
shrunk from the size of a building to the size of a billfold, and
entire libraries of books, music, and more can fit on a tiny chip.
All of this complexity can be utilized and reconfigured more
quickly and effectively than ever. That less physicality can
produce more power is something that kabbalists have taught
throughout the ages.
According to Kabbalah, the more we are able to reduce the physical
space that separates us from each other and from the world around
us, the more evolved we can become. When the space that keeps us
apart grows smaller, the essence of Kabbalah, which is "Love thy
neighbor as thyself," takes on its true meaning: One's neighbor is
one's self. As the Rav reveals and so beautifully expresses in this
book, the secret to personal and global transformation lies in
nanotechnology for the soul.
What once seemed "out of this world" turns out to be not only
possible but inevitable. Nanotechnology, the control and
manipulation of matter on the atomic
or molecular level, is inevitable through spiritual connection and
higher consciousness.
