"Shows us that we all have the power to create peace and change in the world." -Marianne Williamson, author, Return to Love Traveling in 1995 around war-torn Bosnia and Croatia, where he had gone to stage a peace concert, this author encountered The Emissaries: a small group of mystics who meditated 12 hours a day. He went on to detail their message-that humanity was now ready to create a new world-in a book that was translated into more than a dozen languages. This new edition provides behind-the-scenes information about the people met on that trip and offers additional commentary on the monks' compelling mystic vision.

For thousands of years, the mystical community known as the Emissaries of Light has worked in secret, invoking spiritual power to bring peace to areas of bloodshed. Twyman describes their meditations and the foundations of their ancient work.
