LIVING THE LIFE FORCE

This book is a 'primer' on spirituality for those reluctant to join anything. Those who end up on yoga mats, in coffee bars or in airport lounges wondering what life is about, but do not want to 'get involved'.

 It confronts the question of whether there is or there is not a 'Life-Force' (and if so how to relate to it) in a 'gonzo' style that is irreligious and yet suggests at a latent spirituality, engaging the reader through appealing to their own experience, rather than the beliefs that they might hold.

 The first half of the book poses various questions about how one co-operates with that Life-Force:  looking at evolution as a function of consciousness, highlighting the rise of global consciousness and suggesting how the individual can play a part in making a better world through empathy and compassion using 'Emotional Photosynthesis'.

 The second half of the book takes the form of a memoir using the different stages of consciousness - Infant, Magical, Mythical, Rational, Visionary and Soul - to explore the practical reality of what it means to 'Live the Life-Force'.
