This morning we had a phenomenal encounter with the world renouned mystical activist, Andrew Harvey. I first met Andrew in Washington DC, several years ago, where he was speaking at the founding conference of "The Network of Spiritual Progressives", a broad coaltion aimed at creating a "spiritual left" as a counterbalance to the religious right. At that time Andrew, with is dramatic english accent, urged me to make the film edgy-"promise me this Velcrow-don't make Fierce Lite.". He echoed those words today, saying that its time to take the gloves off and tell it like it is, and if thats too much for some people right now, dont worry. Speak to the ocean, not the fish. Be the divine speaking to the divine. Dare to be a mystic.

For Andrew, the key to the global crisis is the incredible power that comes from merging the masculine energy of activism with the power of the divine feminine, of love, of the sacred. Love in action. He feels that the world today depends on this transformation.

Today is a time when the fate of the planet hangs in the balance, and where there is both tremendous possibility. And tremendous danger. When we are all called to find our personal mission. And each one of us has a mission. He believes the way through to that discovery of what our particular role is, is to follow your heartbreak. Dare to open your heart fully to the shadow, the great crisis that is engulfing the world, and find your own particular heartbreak, and do the reverse-find the light side, the healing side, and put your energies there.

He said a lot-we talked for an inspired hour and a half. Later he inisisted on taking us out for lunch, but let us buy the ice cream cones afterwards.

It was inspiring to be in the presence of such a great visionary, with a message that is critical for this time of turmoil. You can read more about him at www.andrewharvey.net
