Over 30 years ago, a small band of people began an intentional community in Scotland called Findhorn. They lived by applying principles of attracting to oneself, through love, whatever materials, energy, or help were needed to promote wholeness or further growth. David Spangler, who was one of those early residents of Findhorn, began writing down how those laws worked. In 1975, his writings were first published as The Laws of Manifestation. This long-unavailable book is now available again with a new 50-page introduction by the author, “Gaian Manifestation: Beyond Will and Attraction.”

Spangler shows how we can all transform our lives by working with these natural laws. In clear and lucid prose, he recounts the history of manifestation and how to grow in spiritual riches (the most important of all) in a step-by-step guide to inner attunement. While other “experts” in this suddenly burgeoning field tend toward applying manifesting energy toward real estate, money, and myriad materials, Spangler looks at the basis of what he describes as a change of form, or state, or condition of being, NOT creating something out of nothing.

This is what manifestation is: the working of natural laws of energy exchange and transference within a consciousness of the Whole and through an attunement to the Presence of Wholeness... It is a dynamic state of consciousness. On human levels, manifestation does not replace working for a living. It is simply a different way of expressing the livingness of the work and the work of living where work is truly seen as “Love in Action”.

David writes, “If you want to explore more deeply my current thoughts and teachings around manifestation, I invite you to visit the Lorian website, www.lorian.org. And I wish you well in all your manifestations. May they be the blessing you intend them to be.”
