The Magdalene Revolution: The Return of the Sacred Feminine and the Birth of Radical Equality

"In a radically fresh reading of Mary Magdalene's story, a renowned scholar of mystical traditions sheds new light on the Divine Feminine as a force for change and healing. For more than 20 years, Andrew Harvey has trained his fine scholar's eye on sacred texts and mystical truths to illuminate the message of inspired activism that they hold. Today, we need this message more urgently than ever. In this new book, Andrew takes a fresh, impassioned look at the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus to distill its meaning for our world and show us how to embody this truth in our own lives. The Magdalene Revolution will: - Examine how Mary Magdalene is presented in the New Testament-sometimes splendidly, but also absurdly and even dangerously - Explore the truths revealed about her in texts such as the Gospel of Mary and other Gnostic gospels - Propose a radical reclamation of the divine feminine by recognizing Mary Magdalene as the Bride to Jesus's Bridegroom-a female and co-equal Christ in her own right - Illuminate a new paradigm of fully embodied divine and human love that each of us can live out in our daily lives "We are in the time of the Second Coming," Andrew writes. "The old story is dying, and a new story with Mary Magdalene's and Jesus's love at the center is being born, because it completes and activates the full range of Christ consciousness." In Mary Magdalene's great spirit of healing and transfiguration, this book offers us this new human story-and a path to transform not only ourselves, but our world. This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download."

Love's Manifesto: The Courage to Let Your Heart Lead the Way

"Two Visionaries of Engaged Spirituality on How to Embody and Act on the Power of Love 'Love is both the supreme mystery and greatest power in the universe,' reflect Andrew Harvey and Marianne Williamson. And it is our purpose to discover it, embrace it, embody it, and to put it into sacred action. When we shed the layers that separate us from our divine nature, we meet love. But how do we begin that process? With Love's Manifesto, Williamson and Harvey join forces to explore the nature of universal love, to help us discover it within ourselves and encourage it in others. In alternating sessions, these two luminary teachers first show us how to heal the wounds of the past and nurture self-compassion at the felt level of the body. From this foundation, we learn how this sacred force awakens our creativity, clarity of vision, and empathy—to enrich our relationships, invite inner and outer abundance, and create a shift in the world. Rumi wrote: 'Each moment, from all sides, rushes to us the call of love.' But humanity today impels us toward fear, tribalism, aggression, and fundamentalism. So what can we do? 'We ground ourselves in the very real experience of universal love, and then express it through compassion and justice.' Filled with a wealth of meditations, prayers, practices, and insights, Love's Manifesto shows us how to shift into this new paradigm, experience love fully in all its forms, and become co-creators at the side of the divine. Highlights • The great mystery of love • What love can do • Our true self is love • Love and its shadow • Living love • Love in action • Our journey to enlightenment • Sacred activism"

Song of the Sun: The Life, Poetry, and Teachings of Rumi

"It is customary, when referring to the life and work of a poet, to speak in academic terms. But with Jalal-ud-Din Rumi, this custom does not apply. His direct and indirect influence on both our spiritual lives and world literature over the past seven centuries has been immeasurable. Not only does his writing continue to set sales records, he is also remembered as the founder of Mevlevi Sufism—the whirling dervishes—whose followers in this century have numbered in the millions. Who was Rumi, and how does he continue to speak to us today? On Song of the Sun, Andrew Harvey, the Oxford-trained authority on Rumi and author of several modern spiritual classics, takes us inside the extraordinary life and teachings of this prophet and poet. Harvey sifts through the many legends and tales associated with Rumi s life, to reveal a rich and inspiring portrait of what a human being in love with and empowered by God can become. He mines the thousands of odes and quatrains composed by Rumi, and shares the most sumptuous and ecstatic works, all with clear relevance to our spiritual lives today. At a time when we are hungry for a divine vision of our world as it can be—and should be—Song of the Sun is an invitation to Rumi s most sacred and glorious feast."

The Direct Path: Reaching the Divine Through the World’s Mystical Traditions

"The way of the mystic is a path to divine union that requires no temple, no money, no guru, no priest, no system. By following it you can reveal your own sacred purpose on earth, regardless of faith, age, sexual orientation, or gender. On The Direct Path, Andrew Harvey confronts 2,000 years of distortion about the mystical life, and challenges you to begin your own personal transformation via the direct path. On this two-session program, we learn how to free ourselves to follow this true path to the “highest temple of God”—through our body, and its sacred life in the world. With scholarship and passion, Harvey describes the enormous sacrifices and rewards of the direct path to the divine, and the traps you will inevitably face along the way. Join him to explore: • How mysticism can lead to escapism • Why our sexuality must be honored for its sacred purpose • The five temptations every mystic faces, and more The true mystic of today, Harvey concludes, is also a “revolutionary activist” who votes and reads the paper, while embracing the daily disciplines of contemplation, prayer, and service. With The Direct Path, Andrew Harvey offers a vision of a possible world that honors the divinity in every living thing, while laying to rest the falsehood that the mystical life is reserved for a chosen few."

Gay Mysticism: Ecstasy and Transfiguration Through Divine Love

"Discover the Holy Passion of Gay Mystics Of the world's true mystics—seekers who achieve a direct union with God—a staggering proportion have lived and loved as gay men and women. Through their sumptuous love poetry, their daring explorations of Tantra (sacred sex), and heroic devotion to their faith—despite their estranged status within society—gay mystics have permanently altered and enriched the spiritual landscape of our time. Now scholar and bestselling author Andrew Harvey illuminates the lives and loves of these mystical outsiders on Gay Mysticism. Looking back to the dawn of Western religion, Harvey shows that, far from being rejected, homosexuals in pre-Christian cultures were seen as divine and even priestly—a mysterious fusion of masculine and feminine qualities. Drawing from many sources, Harvey uncovers the rich and long-hidden history of our most important gay mystics, including the Sufi poet Rumi, the American poet and social worker Walt Whitman, the English essayist Edward Carpenter, Plato, and others. Here is the never-before-told story of these “spiritual adventurers” and the sacred democracy they bravely explored, framed by the most ecstatic and hallucinatory love poetry the world has ever known."

The Return of the Mother

"In this comprehensive and groundbreaking work, scholar Andrew Harvey unearths traces of the sacred feminine in major world religions as well as in aboriginal and indigenous wisdom traditions.

The Return of the Mother is an eloquent, passionate call for listeners to rediscover and reclaim an authentic and empowering relationship with the divine and re-create a sacred life in this world."

Radiant Heart: The Radical Teachings of Jesus and the Christian Mystics

"Twenty centuries have passed since Jesus first spoke of a glorious “kingdom” at hand. And yet for theologians, as well as everyday seekers, the question remains: What can we do to realize the full promise of Christianity for ourselves and for our world? The answer, teaches Andrew Harvey, lies with the Christian mystics who used the life of Jesus as a spiritual template to become “like a sun, the source of abundant life, whose waves incessantly wash, infuse, and purify the cosmos.” On Radiant Heart, this scholar, teacher, and bestselling author illuminates the direct path to Christ, and the unlimited and all-transforming source of power that it offers to each one of us today, whatever path we are on. Beginning with an investigation into the original practices of Jesus, and ending with a series of transformative meditations for opening to the power of Christ consciousness, Radiant Heart invites us to look beyond nearly 2,000 years of dogma and distortion to see the full glory of the Christ path, as it was traveled by Jesus and history's most influential saints and mystics. In 12 detailed and compelling audio sessions, Harvey offers a map for entering and experiencing the thresholds and mysteries of Christ's life through contemplations developed over centuries of inner experience. From the first practices of the ancient Desert Fathers and Mothers, to insights into the Cosmic Mary and sacred androgyny, to modern examples of Christed beings including Thomas Merton and Bede Griffiths, Harvey examines what happens when we respond to Christ's challenge, and open to the spirit of radiance residing within. Here for the first time, in Andrew Harvey's own words, is a full-length curriculum of meditations, prayers, and practices for plunging into “the living flame of love” (St. John of the Cross) and walking this path of revelation, power, and wonder."

Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ

"A Revolutionary Vision of Jesus Designed as both a practical guide and a call to action, the Son of Man audio edition brings to life a revolutionary vision of the historical Jesus that is intended to transform the sacred imagination of the world.

While sharing new research into the original gospel as Jesus taught it, Andrew Harvey examines centuries of distortions, bringing into new focus the most treasured fruits of the entire Christian mystical tradition. What emerges from this myth-cleansing process and restoration in no way diminishes Jesus, but instead presents him as a mystical, political, radical revolutionary of infinite importance to the human race. Divided into four challenging sections, Son of Man covers: • The historical Jesus and his radical path • The four stages of the mystical path to Christhood • Christ the sacred androgyne as the embodiment of the divine feminine • Practices and meditations for the direct path to Christ."
