P.R. Contact Kim Corbin

"The Translucent Revolution delivers a cumulative punch. It is a rare combination of reason, passion and spiritual insight. After you put this book down you know that a great shift in consciousness is already underway and that the path to a sane, peaceful, and sustainable future has been seeded in our time. Arjuna Ardagh offers us substantial hope. At a time when the human story has been in a prolonged eclipse, he provides evidence to support a transformation of global society from the inside out. This is a book you just might want to read before anyone else tries to convince that you the world is going to hell in a basket."
— James O'Dea, President, Institute of Noetic Sciences

There is a growing phenomenon throughout the world, a gentle but profound revolution in human consciousness. It is something that has been experienced directly by millions of people — everyday people in all walks of life — and the numbers continue to multiply exponentially. The breakthroughs they have experienced are startlingly similar, affecting the way they perceive themselves, others, and reality in general. The experience is marked by a new sense of well being, increasing joy in life, compassion and empathy, a diminishing of fear — including fear of death — and a natural impulse to serve and contribute to the world in a real way.

For more than a decade, Arjuna Ardagh has studied this worldwide advance in human consciousness marked by what he calls "translucents" — individuals who have undergone a spiritual awakening deeply enough that

it has permanently transformed their relationship to themselves and to reality, while allowing them to remain involved in ordinary life, in a process which is evolutionary and endless.. The Translucent Revolution draws on the author's dialogues with more than a hundred writers and teachers and workshops with thousands of individuals around the world who have experienced and benefited from this phenomenon. In the book, Ardagh clearly explains the deep change in awareness that marks this state. He blends observation, anecdote, and research, including commentaries from leading pioneers in the field of human consciousness, such as Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Jean Houston, and Neale Donald Walsch, to create a blueprint for life change. The Translucent Revolution offers simple, concrete strategies for cultivating translucence.

Author Arjuna Ardagh was educated in England, and earned a Master’s degree in literature from Cambridge University. From a very early age, he has had a passionate interest in spiritual awakening, and he began to practice meditation and yoga at the age of 14. In his late teens he trained as a meditation teacher and, after graduating from Cambridge, studied with a number of prominent spiritual teachers in India, Nepal, and Thailand as well as in Europe, and the U.S. He has developed the Living Essence Training, which prepares people to be facilitators of this shift in consciousness with others and cultivates “translucence.” He and his staff have trained more than 450 practitioners in the U.S. and Europe. He teaches seminars throughout the U.S. and Europe, speaks at many international conferences, and has appeared on TV, radio, and in print media. He lives with his wife and two sons in Nevada City, California. His websites are: www.livingessence.com and www.translucentrevolution.org.
