Lighting the Flame

Internationally acclaimed author, mystical scholar, and spiritual teacher Andrew Harvey inspires in this interview about the power of prayer. Speaking of prayer as something far greater than an appeal for forgiveness or help, he opens our understanding of what this sacred practice really means in a profound relationship with the divine. He shows that prayer gives us strength to move through the world with compassion and love. He stresses that it is prayer and the divine relationship it fosters that enable us to face hardship and trauma. It is prayer that gives us the fortitude to take action. We are living in a world where people have lost their connection with grace, and this has led to inequality, the destruction of the environment, injustice, and violence. Andrew holds up prayer as a powerful tool in our arsenal to uplift the world. So join Andrew and find out how this technique can change your life—and the world. See less
