The Power of Change Within to Change the World

"What is the pattern which connects the crab to the lobster and the orchid to the primrose, and all of them to me and me to you?" -Gregory Bateson

Hi, I am Dawson Church, editor of Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves. I believe with this book I hold in my hands the most powerful collection of healing information relating to our bodies, planet, and future that has ever been assembled. The minds, experiences, and knowledge of over 35 spiritually focused souls are concentrated here for the purpose of addressing the real issues that can heal our Earth and us.

I asked myself questions as I sat at my desk in my little publishing office in Northern California—“How does the global ecological crisis affect our personal health? Are we being selfish when we spend an hour focusing on our own wellness instead of global wellbeing? How do our personal choices affect the whole? How do the big choices we are collectively making as humanity affect our personal long-term prospects for survival?”

I was working on books and articles that I believe make a difference to our collective future. Out of these endeavors and in answer to my questions, a massive and ambitious project was born: an anthology that chronicles the birth of a planetary culture embracing both personal health and global well-being.

I invited world-famous authorities to comment, people like the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Huston Smith, Helen Caldicott, Larry Dossey, Debbie Ford, Neale Donald Walsch, Gay Hendricks, Joan Borysenko, Ram Dass, Mary Catherine Bateson, and Barry Sears. I also discovered unknown, yet brilliant and inspiring, new voices working on the frontiers of consciousness and personal growth. I put it all together in a remarkable new anthology, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves.

In the pages of this book you will discover some of the most astonishing, simple, profound, and challenging visions of where humankind as a planetary species is heading—and what it means to you in the next year and beyond.

These brilliant contributors bring together quantum physics, leading edge medicine, social activism, mysticism, case histories, and the outer limits of science and systems-thinking to paint a multi-faceted vision of the future, and how it will affect you personally.

I urge you to join me in a planetary revolution that far transcends politics, economics and social progress, as we know it today. I urge you to join me in the healing of our precious Earth, even as you heal the deepest wounds in your own psyche and body. I urge you to purchase a copy of this. I urge you to read it, to find the ideas that inspire you most, to incorporate them in a powerful life mission for yourself, and to share that with your friends and colleagues. I urge you to forward a link to this site to everyone you know, and ask them to purchase the book too. I urge you to write reviews on the online bookselling sites, to include this site in your signature line of all your e-mails, to order the book in your local bookstore and ask them to stock five or more copies.

With thanks and blessing,
Dawson Church
Co-editor
