Infos

Dozens, if not hundreds of books have been written on the coronavirus pandemic. This book is different. It takes a look at the first two years of Covid-19 from a spiritual perspective. This is a 'spiritual' perspective, not a 'religious' perspective. It has been said that the greatest disease of our time is not the pandemic, but our separation from spirit. In this short book, John Rawson explores the link between the illness of our spiritual disconnect and the outbreak of the greatest pandemic in the last one hundred years. The book is framed within a set of communications to a spiritual community. The people in this community have asked questions about the appearance of the pandemic. The questions are about understanding. Spirituality deals with questions that science and philosophy cannot touch. We can see the figures and the epidemiology of Covid-19. We can understand how to treat the illness, but what we won't understand is, 'Why?' 'Why has the pandemic happened?' Science dare not ask the question, 'What is the purpose of the pandemic?' Spiritual consciousness not only asks the question, but discovers answers. The answers presented within 'Covid-19: Through a Glass Darkly' arise from the Western Spiritual Tradition. Something of the shape and history of this tradition comes through the answers and description of the book. To open this work is to embark, not only on a discussion of a world event, it is to embark on a journey that may well transform and awaken consciousness itself.

We are now three years into a global pandemic. The world has changed for everyone. TV screens are saturated with statistics: infection rates, mortality, hospitalisations. As human beings we need more than data to make sense of our world. We have a deep need to seek out reason and purpose. "e;Covid-19: Through a Glass Darkly"e;, is a response to questions of reason and purpose from a spiritual community. This community, the community of Free Priests, was founded in the tradition of Western Spirituality. It is a community that is free from religious dogma, and religious structure. It is an expression of how the priesthood may evolve in a future where there are no more churches, and organised religion no longer satisfies the spiritual yearnings of souls. Organised around a set of communications with the members of this community, the book discovers and communicates the spiritual reasons for the coronavirus pandemic. Philosophers and thinkers have tried hard in the last 500 years to repress the concept of a spiritual world. Modern culture focuses almost completely upon physical expression. We believe only what we touch with our hands and see with our eyes. We are embedded in Realm-1, the realm of the physical. Spiritual tradition tells us that Realm-1 is only part of the whole. There is a whole world that lies beyond the physical. This is Realm-2, the spiritual worlds. In the past, insight into the spiritual worlds has been the prerogative of the rare sage, seer, prophet or clairvoyant. What do such souls have that the rest of us don't? The answer is deceptively simple. Where we use physical eyes to see in Realm-1, we need to develop spiritual eyes to see into Realm-2. Where our physical ears conduct messages through a physical medium, we will hear messages from the spiritual worlds when we develop organs of spiritual hearing. When we look at the physical world from the perspective of the spiritual, then our view is very different. We discover that events in the physical world are manifestations of spiritual energies. This means that the purpose of the coronavirus must be sought on the spiritual levels. As the reader travels through this book, they begin with the darkness of our materialistic understanding. As we enter more deeply into a spiritual consciousness however, the darkness is illuminated by an inner light. Through our own inner light, we discover purpose. Through our own inner light, we discover our spiritual architecture, and through our own inner light we complete the journey described by Paul the Apostle: "e;for now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face"e;
