Foundations in perception
Case studies : references
Sharing the story of Findhorn, how a thriving community was founded and had an impact on the lives of thousands in the remote wilds of Scotland. This story is told by Paul Hawken, a visitor to Findhorn who recorded the personal stories of Peter and Eileen Caddy, Sheena Govan, Dorothy Maclean and the other colourful characters who came to be part of the story of Findhorn. In this you will hear insights at the height of a mission that sought to bring consciousness to the unity of humanity and the living earth, the capacity to communicate directly with spiritual guidance, plants and the spirits of the land. It is also a story of faith and the challenges of living in harmony with divine will, higher consciousness and an unfolding vision.

“The question that began to brew in my mind was not what Findhorn was doing to people – I could see that clearly enough all around me – but what was the Magic , what was the transforming power, what was the cause of this spiritual greenhouse, why did there seem to be such thick and vibrant energies whirling around the caravans and gardens? Everyone I talked to recounted a story of enormous persinal growth within the community. No one had come here without being changed by the place, some from the moment they had walked through the gates. The absence of a strong spiritual leader may indeed make the environment more conducive to change and growth but it did not explain what was the agent of this change..”
The Magic of Findhorn
Paul Hawken, page 206.
“You are each here to demonstrate the reality of the spiritual nature of man and of its possibilities and potentials released through an attended conscsiouenss and through action guided by intuition and love and wisdom. There is strong force of will, of purpose, moving through this centre which will accomplish all the objectives for which the centre was founded. It is not dependent on any individual. Individuals may attune to it and find their own life enhanced, make their own contribution to the whole and in turn find their wholeness increased. Or individuals may be unable to attune to it, in which case they will be unable to stay.
The stakes are high and time grows increasingly short, and as the time grows shorter the freedom we have to work and to alter events in human consciousness becomes less and lessen the probabilities of certain actions taking place becomes greater. For every moment of the earth’s turning in which forces of emotional imbalance, instability, negation and hatred flourish or manifest themselves, you world is brought that much closer to a point of judgement and collapse. There is a time established in the last quarter of this century, a time which cannot be revealed, when you will be confronted as a planet with a major crisis with smaller ones leading up to it. How well mankind moves through that depends on what is done now to build the new patterns, for it is within the structure of light that will be established and is being established now, that you and we will have the freedom to work and to influence human events.. .the extent of the new society you can develop in these months and years will determine how critical and how destructive the years ahead of you will be from a human point of view”
