I have permission to distribute an excerpt from the book
"Medicine for the Earth" by scientist-turned-shaman Sandra
Ingerman. The author of "Soul Retrieval," a bestselling
book on personal transformation, Ingerman's new book asks
if there is a way to focus our individual spiritual
practices on group problems and magnify the results.
Specifically, the book is concerned with "transmuting"
toxins to alleviate damage to the environment.

Ingerman holds a bachelor's degree in biology and advanced
degrees in counseling. Her book combines a high level of
scholarship with personal and group efforts to practice
alchemy. Ingerman's journey includes an analysis of
numerous "miracles" involving water, from Moses using magic
words to part the Red Sea to Brazilian shamans practicing
rainmaking to eastern yogis using holy water to heal
afflictions. The book concludes with scientifically-
controlled experiments in cleaning polluted water.

The excerpt I have permission to distribute is from the
chapter on Imagination. It is a bold, personal statement
about the need to visualize the outcome of transmutation --
heaven on earth -- and concludes with a passionate call for
us to "dream lucidly in our waking state." It's a very
moving riff by one of the world's outspoken spiritualists.
