Call of the Era

being the Change, through changing our Being

Beschreibung

We each long to belong in our world. We experience belonging when we know who we are, why we are here, and how we are to live. Yet how can we experience belonging in a world which is characterized by the phrase, "all is not well?" Daily the news media portrays graphic images of circumstances which cause pain, fear, sorrow, and anger among people across the globe. Because all is not well, the Call of our era is toward social change. Significant social change requires a change in our identity. Why? Because our identity determines our purpose. Our purpose determines our values system. Our values system shapes the way we live within and act upon our world. Therefore, the deeper spiritual Call of the era is one of recasting our human way of being in the world. How can we generate such personal and collective inner change? In response, this little book of big ideas offers principles and practices for changing our personal and collective identity, with particular emphasis on the Western cultural identity.

Autor

Kaye Twining, author of Call of the Era: being the change through changing our being, has experienced her own change of being. Many years ago her sense of identity and purpose broke apart. In turn, she no longer experienced a song of belonging in her world. As dark and difficult as that time was for her, it was also the beginning of a spiritual adventure toward a new song of belonging. Her spiritual exploration was grounded by the question, "What does it mean to be human in an evolving universe?" During the course of her personal spiritual exploration, Kaye came across the work of numerous authors who argued that the Western cultural song of belonging had broken apart. So, it seemed that Kaye's personal spiritual venture was taking place within a wider cultural turning point. Kaye founded Tree of Life Spiritual Wellbeing in 2007. Under that banner, her ongoing commitment to spiritual practice education has taken various forms including presenting workshops and professional development sessions locally, nationally, and internationally; an online resource www.treeoflifespirituality.com; and writing articles. A number of her articles have been published in Presence: an International Journal of Spiritual Direction. By way of grounding her commitment to spiritual practice education, as a mature-aged student Kaye undertook formal education in the field of spirituality including a Bachelor of Theology, a Graduate Diploma (Spiritual Direction), and a Master of Arts Degree. Kaye was born and continues to reside in Melbourne, Australia. As such, Kaye thinks, speaks, and writes within a Western cultural mindset. Even so, Kaye has travelled many countries which has exposed her to various ways of living and belief systems. As a result, Kaye welcomes difference. Kaye was born into the Christian religious tradition. Even though such a tradition no longer offers her a song of belonging, she is grateful to have lived into, from, and through that religious tradition. She continues to draw from its wisdom teachings. At the same time, Kaye's new song of belonging involves an interspiritual orientation which draws from a systems view of evolutionary history.
