Standing for the Sacred - Thoughts on the Spiritual Destiny of New Zealand

Published by Bruce Lyon, 1997, 195 pages. Secondhand wear to cover, otherwise good copy.

This book is a celebration of New Zealand's coming of age. It is a time to consciously choose the direction of our future, and there are signs that a leading role awaits us on the world stage - if we dare to accept the opportunity the millennium provides. Daring, destiny, dedication and the dance - these themes are explored against a tapestry of thoughts based on the timeless truths of physics and metaphysics, the insights of philosophers and poets, and the inspiration of statesmen and sages from many cultures. Ruaumoko is growling. The pressure for change is mounting. We are climbing our mountain, gaining perspective on the old rifts between male and female, maori and pakeha, east and west, Papa and Rangi. A new spirit of creativity is beginning to flow throughout our land. We have assured ourselves that we will survive. Now we might find out, as a nation, how we could truly LIVE.
