Mystery Teachings from the Living Earth: An Introduction to Spiritual Ecology

By John Michael Greer

The authentic teachings of the mystery schools offer a profoundly different way of making sense of the universe and our place in it. In Mystery Teachings from the Living Earth, ecologist and Druid initiate John Michael Greer offers an introduction to the core teachings of the mysteries through the mirror of the natural world.

Using examples from nature as a touchstone, Greer takes readers on a journey into the seven laws of the mystery traditions:the Law of Wholenessthe Law of Flowthe Law of Balancethe Law of Limitsthe Law of Cause and Effectthe Law of Planesthe Law of Evolution

Greer explains each law, offering meditation, an affirmation, and a theme for reflection, to show how the seven laws can bring meaning and power into our everyday lives.

Mystery Teachings from the Living Earth reveals one of the great secrets of the mysteries—that the laws of nature are also the laws of spirit.

Reviews for Mystery Teachings from the Living Earth

[Adam Johnson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love how Greer ties the mystery teachings back to a language of ecology. I feel he's also holding back on some insights, and deliberately dumbing things down, but nevertheless, a powerful book from a clear writer.
