Over 30 years ago, a small band of people began an intentional community called Findhorn. They lived by applying principles of attracting to oneself, through love, whatever materials, energy or help were needed to promote wholeness or further growth. David Spangler, who was one of those early residents of Findhorn, began writing down how those laws worked. In 1975, his writings were first published as "The Laws of Manifestation". This long-unavailable book is now available again with a new introduction by the author. Spangler shows how we can all transform our lives by working with these natural laws.In clear and lucid prose, he recounts the history of manifestation and how to grow in spiritual riches (the most important of all) in a step-by-step guide to enlightenment. While other experts in this suddenly burgeoning field tend toward applying manifesting energy toward real estate, money, and myriad materials, Spangler looks at the basis of what he describes as a change of form, or state, or condition of being, not creating something out of nothing: From the book: 'This is what manifestation is: the working of natural laws of energy exchange and transference within a consciousness of the Whole and through an attunement to the Presence of Wholeness...It is a dynamic state of consciousness. On human levels, manifestation does not replace working for a living, it is simply a different way of expressing the livingness of the work and the work of living where work is truly seen as 'Love in Action'.

This is a new edition of David Spangler's classic book on manifestation. It has been out of print for some time but the comments of Willis W. Harman, Former President, Institute of Noetic Sciences are still relevant: A number of recent writers have set out to unveil our amazing power to manifest what we want; none have made it so clear that true effectiveness comes from choosing to align what we want with the transpersonal will, as Spangler terms it. His book is lively and easy to read; his clarity, simplicity, and deep wisdom are inspiring.

On the most basic human level, we all want to be blessed. We want life to bring us good things, to shield us from harm, from fear, from loneliness. A blessing can be anything-a kind word, a prayer or ritual, a gesture, an embrace, a gift.

Blessing is the culmination of David Spangler's remarkable career as a spiritual thinker and teacher: the definitive book on how to channel our natural sense of compassion. With specific exercises and examples to guide and inspire us, this book helps us answer the ancient human calling within us all.

These stories range the gamut from fantasy to science fiction and something in-between. Here you will find a young girl fighting for her life in a strange realm into which she has been mysteriously catapulted; a young boy needing to discover the most closely guarded secret of an alien race; two former lovers forced to work together to prevent the end of the world as we know it; an old man mourning a love lost on the other side of time and space; and a band of unlikely but intrepid heroes needing to use all the magic and strength at their disposal to find and face the most fearsome creature in their world. Who knows? Perhaps you will find here an insight or two into the vast and mysterious world that surrounds us. The stories are, after all, written by mystic extraordinaire David Spangler. But mostly these tales will bring you wonder, excitement and most of all, fun and a good laugh or two.

This book is a magical journey into the realms of the Sidhe, the graceful "People of Peace" who are the overlords of the Faery Kingdoms. With beautiful full-colored illustrations by Jeremy Berg and text by David Spangler, author of Apprenticed to Spirit and Subtle Worlds, this is a journey not only into a mystical realm but also into the potentials of the human spirit and the possibilities of a new consciousness within humanity. "This joyous and powerful story sits well amongst other tales of faery and brings its own enchantment. I really found myself carried off as I read, and emerged at the end with a feeling of having been a lot further than I thought. I'd put this right alongside Goethe's 'Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily' as of a kind that can only be written by a true initiate. And the pictures which accompany it carry their own power - drawing deep on the wells of lore and truth." - John Matthews, author of The Western Way and How To See Faeries.

Robert Ogilvie Crombie is probably best known as one of the seminal figures in the history of the Findhorn Foundation community in northern Scotland. He was the elderly Scottish gentleman who spoke with nature spirits. But there was much more to this man's life and work than just his association with Findhorn. As a scientist, hermetic magician, and a researcher of the psychic realms, he was in many ways a key figure in the history of esotericism in the twentieth century. His story is less-well known than it could be simply because he worked in solitude and privacy. He did not write books and did not take students or attempt to found a group or an esoteric school. When he shared some of his inner work with the world at large, he did so through the lens of the Findhorn community. In so doing, he exerted a powerful influence on the imagination and spiritual work of thousands of people around the globe, particularly in how they view humanity's relationship and responsibility to the natural world. For anyone interested in the history of Findhorn, the Western occult and magical traditions, or the life of a working adept, this book is a must-read.

This is David Spangler's newest introduction to Incarnational Spirituality a term he uses to describe his approach to spirituality.Since 1965, David Spangler has worked clairvoyantly and intuitively with a group of non-physical beings from the inner worlds of spirit. They identified themselves as being part of an inner school whose purpose was to explore and develop a spiritual teaching around the process of incarnation. This teaching is intended to empower incarnate persons living in the physical world-individuals such as you and me-to lead lives of greater blessing and capacity and to be sources of blessing and service for the world as a whole. From 1970-1973, David was a co-director of the Findhorn Foundation Community in Northern Scotland. In 1974 he co-founded the Lorian Association, a non-profit spiritual educational organization, and continues to work with it today. David is also a Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association, a gathering of scientists, mathematicians, artists, spiritual and religious teachers, ecologists, and political scientists, all interested in promoting a new culture based on holistic and Gaian values.
