Greening of the Soul

The more civilised we become, the more we seem to be threatened by global catastrophes. Whether global warming is a fact or not, deserts are certainly expanding, and reckless deforestation threatens the environment. We have the material resources to deal with these problems, but it seems human intelligence is too self-seeking to bring about the improvements that are needed. This book points out that the human soul possesses the necessary solution, and only the soul can restore full natural greenness to the earth. But the long-forgotten soul needs to be rediscovered by enough caring people to make a difference. The organisation called Subud exists to bring about this rediscovery of the soul. Former forester Raymond Foster has been following the path of Subud for many years, and this book describes some of his experiences along the way.
