"To truly know and accept that this body dies, and that this is the only time that we have, is the most powerful weapon we can ever have. With this understanding, we can begin to live passionately, not wasting a moment of the precious time that is allocated to us, plunging gratefully into the immediacy of living."
What a gift to be able to see and hear the author in his own voice as he reads passages from his book and shares stories and insights into its writing and the characters in it.
Reshad Feild tells the compelling story of his journey into an ancient and powerful spiritual path. A hard-to-put-down adventure, this is a travelogue in more ways than one. Foreword by Coleman Barks.
“It is one of those true stories that sometimes arise in our lives to act as signpost along the Way. It is a story about both asking permission and living in the question. Like all real stories it can be understood on many levels. It is the story about a Native American Holy Man, and my search for a flute maker who understood the Breath...”
This book is a love story-about love that faces death. To truly know and accept that this body dies, and that this is the only time that we have, is the most powerful weapon we can ever have. With this understanding, we can begin to live passionately, not wasting a moment of the precious time that is allocated to us, plunging gratefully into the immediacy of living. We work now for the future of humanity, and, as we know that we are loved, time will be on our side.
“Once upon a time, when the world was very young, there was harmony. There was one rhythm, one breath, the breath of unity. The world turned. Once upon a time. But once upon that time, that one-moment, a new rhythm evolved...“
If we become aware of the power of our breath we have the ability to bring about real change, both psychologically and potentially on a vast scale. But what is this breath that is fundamental to our very existence?
Reshad Feild defines the task now facing us, and emphasizes that if this new world is to endure, it can only be built by Love. Giving up the pursuit of transient material concerns, we must each accept Love as the only Truth.
This little booklet is intended to help people realize that it is only when we have become 100% responsible for our own feelings and emotions, blaming no one for any events in the past, and being able to forgive others as well as ourselves, that we can begin to realize the wonder and the enormity of the unmanifested worlds that lie within the heart of all real seekers of Truth.
“So let us make every effort to wake up and remember that there is a purpose in remembering and that, ultimately, that purpose is the very essence and fuel for the Journey...”
“This is a book that the reader can open at random whenever he or she wishes – Maybe it will be in the spaces between the words that an answer can be found.”
“I was asked to write a book about what happened to me after my teacher sent me from my home in England to work abroad.” The completion of the trilogy that began with The Last Barrier and The Invisible Way.
Reshad Feild's work focuses upon remembering the inner potential of mankind and on remembering the dignity inherent in being a human being. It reminds us of the responsibility that arises from being human and that work on one's self is required of each in order to be worthy of being called "human being". This work is based upon the living tradition, directly handed down throughout history and continually modified to meet the existing needs of the times.
Video of the Sema ceremony, December 17, 1989. “Time spins out a web from the past into the future. We try to flee from it, but are imprisoned, trapped like flies to the honey of time. It is sweet this world of ours. And yet we must turn around. We must turn back to our Source” (R. Feild)
