Mystical Activism: Transforming A World In Crisis Kindle Edition

by John C. Robinson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
See all formats and editions
In Mystical Activism, we each hold the power to change the world right where we are. To call these "end times" is not hyperbole. We are in trouble and the signs are everywhere: extreme political divisions; xenophobic violence; enormous wealth inequity; poverty and homelessness; racism, sexism, and ageism; arms buildups and unending wars; and, most critical of all, terrifying climate disruption associated with man-made global warming. We are the cause of these dark times. Driven by left-brain beliefs, illusions and obsessions, humanity races headlong toward the collapse of civilization. Fortunately, the solution to these mounting crises also lies in the human psyche, arising from a most surprising source: the right-brain’s natural mystical consciousness. Our survival depends on whether we grasp and resolve this paradox in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Post-Modern Way to Explore Ourselves, Our Souls, and Society
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020
Here is my suggestion for everyone: Read the first chapter, in which author John Robinson describes our world in its current state. If you don’t even feel the smallest stirring within your consciousness, the book is still for you but you may not be ready for it.

Just so you know, this book is not about Mr. Robinson preaching his views to you. In fact, he encourages you to search for what is real and valid for you, telling us “It is your journey.” This is a teaching book that lays out the steps for those who are seeking further enlightenment. As the author says, “We can transform the world but we must start with our own transformation.” What is amazing is the author writes for everyone, no matter what your religious beliefs are or if you are lacking in this area. Your journey is your journey, and he seeks only to guide you along your own path.

These are easy concepts to assimilate, and the only cost is in time and effort, and much less than you imagine. The author informs us that they can easily be incorporated into our daily life, and especially into the things we love to do (play, take walks, participate in sports, hobbies) and the things we have to do (work, household chores, etc.).

What I liked best was that Mr. Robinson took his time, easing the reader into the information and not overwhelming me with everything at once. The book is building blocks of information, each one cemented down and made firm through knowledge. There are numerous exercises throughout the book which prepare each level, helping it support the weight of new ideas, thus allowing the author to move on to subsequent chapters.

It may have been easier for me to grasp some of the initial knowledge, based upon previous readings of the teachings of different religions. The concept of God being within all of us is revealed in many different religions, and is a cornerstone of this book. I recommend this book to everyone. Even if you don’t entirely embrace what Mr. Robinson has to say, there are still many nuggets of knowledge for you to gather. And after all, just because one doesn’t initially believe in something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Five stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and John Hunt Publishing for a complimentary ebook of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guidance for the Journey We Share — A Spiritual Journey is Uniquely Personal, but Never Private
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020
As the subtitle suggests, John Robinson’s heartfelt and illuminative book Mystical Activism offers wisdom and counseling for those trying to navigate “a world in crisis.” Robinson provides not just a coherent prescription for awakening the power of mystical consciousness articulated in the great spiritual traditions, but through guided meditations and personal coaching he helps readers take the necessary medicine so they too can actually overcome the trauma of moving through a world in crisis and realize for themselves the mystical experience he describes as “Heaven on Earth.”

Every spiritual journey is a uniquely personal experience, but never a private one. Sharing his own story of awakening and years of thoughtful reflection, Robinson appreciates Spirit as a blessing to be shared. Reading his book is like having a cozy fireside conversation with a good friend and mentor. He offers hard-earned insights, precious guidance, practical suggestions, and feasible tactics as he encourages and inspires readers to uncover the divine presence within and recognize this wounded world is saturated with Spirit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mystical Activism for change
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020
While I didn't agree with everything the author wrote, I get that he believes what he is writing about. We do have the power to change some things in the world now if we could all agree with each other. I understand that the world has problems that need to be fixed but it won't happen overnight. I, personally don't believe we are in the "end times", but that's my belief. To say that the left brain is causing everything that is happening is not something I agree with. Mystical Activism is a book that the author has taken a great deal of time to write. His beliefs are sincere and I respect them. It is well written. I received this book from Net Galley and John Hunt Publishing for a honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020
This is a interesting read about "end times" and why the author believes we are in end times. It is to be read with the understanding that this is his opinion , not based on fact. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity.
