It is a deeply personal and profoundly universal call to remember who we are and why we are here. Woven throughout with extraordinary personal stories - from a near-death vision of Lord Krishna, to facing armed gunmen in Kashmir, to bringing Arab and Jewish teenagers together through theatre - the book demonstrates that small, conscious acts of love and courage can redirect the course of history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapters explore Scientific Imagination, Mythic Imagination, The Golden Thread, Alchemy of the Heart, Sacred Stewardship, Divine Trust, Circle of Return, The Sacred Feminine, and the Great Synthesis - each an interwoven mode of remembering our shared humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\"Zerbanoo Gifford's book beautifully highlights the universal message of love, compassion, patience and tolerance that lies at the heart of all the world's great religious traditions.
