Would you like to learn how to cultivate inner wisdom, understand human nature… why we are who we are? Then you will enjoy reading Truth and Illusion - The Politics of Spirituality by Rev. Carol Richardson. Her latest book brings forth the yogic science of spirituality that extends psychology’s understanding of human nature, so that finally we can understand why one person’s lie is another one’s truth.   You will learn: 1. Why we must harmonize dualistic thinking, such as East–West, male–female, left brain–right brain, rich–poor, and individualistic–communal, so we can find truth. 2. How the seven chakras represent our progress in understanding life, truth, ourselves, and one another. 3. How patriarchy has overpowered humanity culturally and religiously, limiting our human development and blocking our access to ultimate truths. 4. How feminine qualities, masculine qualities, love, fear, and the world views of each of our seven chakras combine to explain why we see the world the way we do. Rev Carol Richard
