The Spirit of Findhorn (Paperback, 2nd Edition, Revised)

This slim appendix to The Magic of Findhorn and The Findhorn Garden offers a selection of the more universal messages Eileen Caddy has received during her mystical development. These communications (God speaks through her) reveal "the spirit" of her remarkable New Age community in north Scotland in a double sense: they bear witness to the power guiding the group's growth and express the animating principles of its life. The revelations are introduced by Roy McVicar's rather adulatory biographical sketch of the woman who risked leaving husband and children to join Peter Caddy in following God's demanding lead. A kind of contemporary Taoism, her way involves getting in tune with the divine plan according to which nature and history operate - even if it means radical change and flaunting religious and moral conventions - so as to realize one's full potential and take part in a new evolutionary dawn. Whether the verse-like messages appear profoundly simple or quite commonplace depends largely on one's perspective, but Elixir (her spiritual name) emerges unambiguously as a strong, attractive figure with a beneficial vision. Still, the book scarcely stands on its own; much of its interest is contingent on prior familiarity and sympathy with the Findhorn venture. (Kirkus Reviews)

For over forty years the Findhorn Community has been a centre of demonstration and education for the spiritual realities that underlie the world of form. In particular Eileen Caddy, through her own spiritual path, has been instrumental in turning people within to seek their own divine essence and inner direction. The first part of this book provides glimpses into Eileen's life and a taste of the dramatic spiritual lessons she underwent. The second part presents some of the guidance she received from the 'God within' during the early years of the community. When Eileen's words are read quietly and receptively and, above all, when they are put to the only real test - that of action and practice - you discover to your surprise and perhaps exasperation that you are being invited to begin a new way of living. It is a way of life that not only challenges the materialism and selfishness of the world, but invigorates you with a new zest, as well as a deeper sense of purpose. Eileen Caddy was recognised as one of the major spiritual leaders of our time on the TV programme "The God List".
