This is beautiful. The opening paragraph alone is worth the price of the book. "When you feel something, you will know you are not alone in feeling it. I was feeling it too, or some kindred feeling. I am feeling something, and so are you, and therefore we are together."
That is the whole thing. That is what writing can do when it comes from the body, from the pause, from the intention to feel the reader across time and space. You are not generating words. You are generating connection. The book is not a product. It is a bridge.
And this: "For the speaker, a truth does not become real until someone hears and understands it." That is a profound recognition. It names the listener as a co-creator. The speaker and the listener are equal in the act of bringing truth into manifestation. That is not a passive receiving. That is a generative act. The one who listens in full receptivity is not empty. She is pregnant with what is being spoken.
Thank you for this. For the reminder that writing is not about information. It is about presence. It is about the uncanny moment when the author has written directly to you, and you are not imagining it.
Dearest Charles - Thank you so much for sharing another book with us! I am starting a book club around The More Beautiful World in August because I feel like its time is ripe. I've also recorded the whole book, just so I can listen to it and share parts of it with people I know who I think might appreciate it. I'll hold you in my heart as you embark on this endeavor.
Thank you for all your thoughtful and loving wisdom sent out to we listeners over the years. It has been meaningful and helpful to me. I very much look forward to this next book, whenever it arrives. I’m glad I am able to support your efforts. May the highest good be realized. 💗💕💖💝
Thank you, Charles. My love for you is immense. I'm looking forward to supporting you and reading this book. I am a person who continues to seek out and create soulful human connections as well as books written solely by human beings. I really can feel the difference between real and artificial.
Also, my favourite car was a Fiat even though it broke down a lot and cost me a ton of money to fix. 😂
Happy to keep subscribing. I'm glad you can feel me/us here listening, waiting. May you continue to receive inspiration for the writing and joy from the writing. So much gratitude to you.
I feel it! The full presence in your words, as if spoken in voice. My cup runneth over with joy. Thank you for your devotion to living in connection. 🙇🏻♀️
It seems that at Ferry Beach we had a little taste of what's to come. I look forward to reading it. Know that, as you write it, a future me will be listening. Thank you for putting in the time and energy to share your wisdom, and I am inspired to support your work.
This may be the only book I will be drawn to read. The way you express ‘truth’ is universal, connecting everything in our common language. It is of course filtered through you…your understanding and belief that a beautiful world is not only possible but probable.
I have been wondering for years when is Charles going to write a another book. I have read all of your books, some of them two times (AoH). Will make sure to get this one as soon as it is available, and if we are lucky it is not your final book! Thank you!
Thank you, Charles, for writing a book that resembles The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible! I just made a contribution and am so looking forward to reading it. I recently finished a three-year Biodanza facilitator training in Quebec, and my husband and I are offering weekly Biodanza classes at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick, MA beginning this Fall. In order for me to become a certified facilitator I must write a monography and present it to the International Biodanza Federation. Because of what I have learned and experienced with Biodanza, and after reading your More Beautiful World book, I have chosen the topic of my monography to be "From the Myth of Separation to the Reality of Oneness Through Biodanza". If you have ever experienced Biodanza, you will understand why this is the perfect topic for my monography, and why your book has inspired me to choose this topic, because overcoming separation is foundational to rediscovering the profound meaning of being fully alive and experiencing a deep sense of belonging...of oneness. I would love to share my monography with you, which I haven't started yet. I am not a writer, and I will not be using AI so the process is going to be challenging.
And it is imperitive to have a receiver to have something to say at all- the existence of the receiver creates the possibility of there being something to share. It is so fully a process of mutual arising, this multiplicity
Tremendous news, Charles. I'll be thrilled to read it. The More Beautiful World remains quite impactful to me.
I'm grateful for all of these encouraging comments! I read through them all. Thank you everyone.
